David S. Baker, 73, a lifelong Concord resident, passed away peacefully on May 14, 2024, following a long battle with Parkinson's with Lewy Body Dementia.  He was surrounded by his loving family.

He was born in Winchester on October 26, 1950. He was the son of the late Stillman H. Baker and Evelyn E. (Bingham) Baker. He was a member of Concord-Carlisle High School's class of 1968, where he played on the varsity hockey and baseball teams. He served in the United States Naval Air Reserve from 1969-1974, where he was a member of the helicopter squadron on the flight deck of the USS America. David was a self-employed master electrician in Concord and the surrounding area for forty plus years.

David was an avid sports fan, following the Bruins and Red Sox closely. He loved nothing more than watching his grandchildren play their various sports throughout the years and even recently on the sidelines on his most difficult days. He was a fighter and battled to the very end.

David, a devoted husband, father and grandfather, leaves his loving wife of 53 years, Sharyn (Driscoll) Baker, daughter, Laurie Baker McLaughlin and her husband Craig McLaughlin of Concord, son David S. Baker Jr. and his wife Debbie Baker of Concord and four precious grandchildren, Grace, Kelsey, Karleigh and Ryan.
