Adam Wade Baker, age 38, of Leighton, passed away on Wednesday, December 14, 2022, at North Alabama Medical Center.
Adam loved his black car and working on other cars. He was considered the best shade tree mechanic around. He was always ready to help anyone regardless of the time or place, and all his family and friends knew they could depend on him. He loved going to the movies and was always planning on what to do after the movies. His favorite movies were National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and Forrest Gump, and always loved messing with his friends by acting like Forrest. He was quite a character and was never boring. Adam loved to make people laugh and always made his presence known when he came into a room. He was eagerly looking forward to his wedding to Brittany in September. His family and friends will cherish the many wonderful memories they shared with Adam.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Olen & Juliet (Turner) Baker, and grandparents, Alvin & Flora May Baker, Rayburn & Margie Lou Turner.
He leaves to cherish his memory, his fiancé, Brittany Wade; brothers, Jeremy Baker, David Baker; special cousins, Andrew Frederick (Conesa), Anthony Clark (Heather), Larry Chaney (Vickie), Heath Frederick; future mother & father-in-law, Carolyn & J.R. Bratcher; brother-in-law, Shane Wade; several nephews and nieces; and a host of good friends.
The visitation will be 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. Sunday, December 18, 2022, at Spry Memorial Chapel. The funeral will follow at 3:00 p.m. in the chapel with Sister Pearl Shelton speaking at the service. Burial will be at Gray Rock Cemetery.
The pallbearers will be Heath Frederick, Andrew Frederick, Chuck Elom, Shane Wade, Larry Chaney, Anthony Clark, and Timothy Chaney.
