Timothy Baker, Jr.

Timothy Baker, Jr., 48, passed away March 26, 2026 in Ocala, Florida. He was born April 19, 1977 in Whitesburg, Kentucky to Chuck "Rusty" Etheredge and Deanna Baker. He worked as an automotive mechanic for over 20 years.

He is survived by his parents; brother, Sean Etheredge; sister, Jennifer Klix: Aunt, Karen Baker, Uncles, Hubert "Junior" Baker and Randy Baker and many cousins.

Tim loved fishing, working on cars, playing his guitar, and recently started into astronomy and astrophotograpy. His door was always open to friends in need. He was an employee at After Hours Salvage for 20+ years, where he did everything imagineable, including completely dismantling cars for parts resale.

Tim lived most of his life in Anthony and Ocala, and was content living there, but he was longing for a place in a very rural setting. Tim was a jokester but could be very serious when needed. He was always helping a friend in need, never turning anyone away.
