Obituary

Anthony "Tony" Baker passed away Saturday, February 26, 2022, in his home surrounded by family after a courageous battle with cancer. He was 56 years old.  A native and lifelong resident of Vicksburg, he was the son of Sara Baker and the late Randall Baker. He was a graduate of Warren Central High School. He worked for Vicksburg Paint and Glass for many years prior to his employment with Price's Glass. He was a dedicated employee with Price's from 2006 until he was forced to give up his career due to health issues in December of 2021. The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Tony. He was a hard worker, best known for his glass projects. He spent most of his time helping others. Tony was always there to lend a hand. Some would even refer to him as "too good hearted". He had a passion for music and listening to the blues. He was most devoted to his two daughters, Kristen Mitchell and Madison Baker.

In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his grandparents, Hubert and Betty Hearn.

He is survived by his mother, Sara Hearn Baker; two daughters, Kristen Mitchell (Michael) and Madison Baker; two grandchildren, River Mitchell and Millie Ruth Mitchell; a brother, Michael Baker; two sisters, Karen McKay and Ann Hambright; an aunt and uncle, Jim and Barbara (Babs) Hearn, all of Vicksburg; two nephews, Joshua McKay and Jamie McKay;  a niece, Catherine Lee Roy (Josh); a great-niece, Caetlyn Roy;  a great-nephew, Dalton Roy; and a great great nephew, John Ridge Brown.
