Charles H. Baker, Jr. – “Charley” – age 63, passed away earlier today at his residence with his wife of 36 years by his side.

Charley was born Jan. 10, 1956 in Jackson, the son of the late Charles H. Baker, Sr. and Mary Helen Cary Baker.

Charley was a self-employed guitar instructor, having taught for over 40 years. He also owned and operated Baker Guitar Studio for 25 years.

He is survived by his wife Barbara Ann Baker of Jackson, and a sister Cary McCaghren of Bartlett.

According to his obituary, it was Charley’s wish that we not dwell on his passing, but that we live life to its fullest and always do good to each other. There will no services.
