Nathaniel "Nate" Cole Baker

Nathaniel “Nate” Cole Baker, 24, North Manchester, passed away May 20, 2022. The son of Jeremy and Kelly (Cole) Baker, Nate was born in Layton, Utah, on March 5, 1998.

After he and his family moved back from Utah, Nate attended second through ninth grades at Manchester Community Schools. He and his family then moved to Warsaw, and Nate graduated from Warsaw High School in 2016. That fall Nate attended Manchester University. In 2017 he entered the workforce and was employed with Pierceton Trucking for a time.

Nate was gifted in technology, often helping his grandparents with their technological issues. Most recently, he built a new gaming computer from the ground up. He enjoyed his time in the digital world playing online games and PlayStation and had a passion for Magic cards and Dungeons and Dragons.

Nate was a kindhearted person who listened to everyone having trouble in their lives and always gave the best bear hugs. He was a big brother to those around him and was eager to help his family and friends, treasuring the times he could make those around him happy and smile. Nate loved making his siblings, nephews, and niece laugh by wrestling around with them. He always put other people’s problems before his own.

The loving memory of Nate Baker will be forever cherished by his father and mother, Jeremy and Kelly Baker, Warsaw; sisters, Caitlyn (Trenton) Baker-Thomas, Liberty Baker, and Teyla Baker, all of Warsaw; brothers, Quay and Jace Baker, Warsaw; nephews, Maxon and Lukas Thomas and niece, Averleigh Thomas; maternal grandparents, Keith and Connie Cole, North Manchester; and the many friends for whom he cared deeply.

A celebration of Nate’s life will be held at a later date.

For those who wish to honor the memory of Nate, memorial contributions may be made to the Bowen Center 850 North Harrison Street, Warsaw, Indiana 46580.

The family of Nate Baker has entrusted McKee Mortuary with care and final arrangements.
