Coldbrook, NS
January 28, 2024
It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our son, brother, grandson, nephew, and dear friend, Brandon William Baker, of Coldbrook on Sunday, January 28, 2024 at the age of 27.
Born in Kentville, he was a son of Joleen Olmstead (Brian Fanning), of Coldbrook and the late William "John" Baker.
Brandon had the biggest heart and would try to help anyone that needed him. He enjoyed music and writing songs, fishing and collecting cards. He was a gamer and loved Fortnite. He resonated with the Joker from D.C. Comics for his complex understanding of the world.
Brandon was an excellent cook and aspired to go to Culinary School. We will all miss his creative meals and love of the kitchen.
In addition to his mother and stepfather, Brandon will be deeply missed by his siblings, Courtney Baker (Nick Pretty); Amberlee Baker, all of Coldbrook; and Riley William Baker of Waterville; grandparents, Shirley (Mike "Pops") Benjamin, Waterville; and Nannie Suzy Thorpe, New Minas; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family.
He was predeceased by his father, John in 2020; and his maternal great-grandmother, Ruby "Audrey" Bezanson.
Visitation will be held from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. on Friday, February 2, 2024 in the White Family Funeral Home, Kentville, immediately followed by the funeral service (with a video webcast) at 3:00 p.m. Rev. Rick Small officiating. A reception will be held at the Coldbrook Lions Club, 1416 South Bishop Road, following the service. Interment will take place at a later date in the Berwick Cemetery, Berwick.
Donations in memory may be made to the Canadian Mental Health Association.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville.
