Samuel (Sam) Harvey Baker, age 44, passed away July 29, 2016.

He was born October 28, 1971 in Price, Utah.  Married Amber Lynn Lopan, February 11, 1995 in Price, Utah and they were blessed with two wonderful children: Samuel Dane and Taylor Lynn.  Family meant everything to Sam and he worked tirelessly in the coal mines so he could provide for his family.  Sam started working in the mines at 17 and was honored to work alongside some of the best miners in the area for 27 years.  He loved mining and was presently employed at Dugout Canyon Mine where he will be sorely missed by his co-workers.

Sam loved hunting, fishing, camping, motocross, working in the yard and building his garage with “Papa Mart”.  Sam was a kid at heart who loved to tease, entertain, watch scary movies with his kids, “Go Jeppin” and he had unique way of making everyone laugh.  Sam will be sorely missed by his loving family and a community of friends.
