Keith Brian Baker Sr.

Keith Brian Baker Sr., 60, of Massillon, passed away at home on July 8, 2026.

He was born on March 16, 1966 to the late Jimmie and Verdella (Jones) Baker in Massillon, OH.

Keith was a lifelong resident of Massillon and an avid fan of the Massillon Tigers. He enjoyed wine, music, craft beer, gourmet food, and was a big animal lover. Keith was a movie buff and a friend to everyone - no one was a stranger. He loved his family and friends with his heart and soul more than anything, and his door was wide open for anyone in need.

Keith is survived by his loving children, Keith (Erica) Baker II, Ashley Johnson, and Brandon Johnson; grandchildren Khalil, Khaliope, Khalivia, Brandon Jr., and Brock; two very special ladies, Karen Johnson and Bobbie Foutty, and lifelong brother Stevie Waller.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his sister, Shirley Baker, and his beloved dog Shugar.

Per the family's wishes, cremation has taken place. A visitation will be held for Keith on Friday, July 17, 2026 from 5:00 to 8:00 pm at Paquelet Funeral Home, 1100 Wales Road NE in Massillon, Ohio.
