Pawlie Baker

Pawlie Baker passed away surrounded by family on December 1st, 2022 at the age of 11 after a short battle with cancer. Pawlie was rescued and came to his forever home on January 5th, 2013. Pawlie is survived by his Father Ryan (Kara) Baker, Mother Kimberly Beyer, Step Siblings Evan Barton, Claire Barton, Fur Brothers Louie and Leo. Grandparents Nancy Vaughn, Mike and Tammy Baker, Hans and Carolyn Beyer. Aunts Brenda (Laurie Lesch) Bucci. Uncles Alex (Savannah) Collins, Dillon (Hillary) Hiatt, Adam (Kerrigan) Brosio and countless friends and fans!!! Pawlie is kind of a big deal. Pawlie was preceded in death by his Fur Sister Justice Baker, and Grandpap Larry Vaughn. Pawlie was the friendliest man, and he never met a stranger. He always loved when people came to visit, and seeing people out, he always ran to the door with a wagging tail to greet visitors, never a bark. Pawlie loved every living thing, squirrels and birds included, he was a kind soul. Pawlie's favorite things included laying in the sun, hiking rugged trails at state parks, summer Jeep rides, eating ice cream, sitting in his dad's police car for parades (Pendleton Christmas Parade was his favorite), or any escort for the school teams, watching the Carmel High School Band practice on our walks by the stadium, keeping people in line when they horseplay...or sometimes just hugging was too much. Pawlie was also just happy with couch time with dad, or whoever wanted to cuddle.. there is only one Pawlie sitting stipulation, his booty had to be touching yours. Pawlie meant the world to me, he is my son, my forever holiday dinner date, my Jeep copilot, my best friend, and partner in crime, Pawlie was my home, and my always. I have 10 years of memories with Pawlie that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Pawlie taught me many lessons in those 10 years, but none more important than how to love someone so deeply and completely. Pawlie is a special man, and I am so very lucky that he chose me to be his dad. I love you Peeper Man.... Tell Sis I miss her, your Pap I miss him as well, and that he has the best chair... Until I see you again my Sweet P... "To know that I am yours is sweet.... Always!"
