Justin Lee Baker is my son. I had been calling him for months and I got no answer. He was busy and I waited. I got scared when I received a phone call Asking about my son and that's when I searched the Internet for my son! I am heartbroken! A wonderful, loving, gentle and kind-hearted young man, my son I miss you! I miss you with all of my heart and I'm sorry it took me so long to find you. Son, I hope you know how much I love you , that you are my heart! My life will never be the same without you ! Omg Justin how am I going to get to tomorrow without you? I love you Justin and you will be missed!

Debra my name is Jack and I work at the business where your son's accident occurred. I was hoping you could give me a call regarding your son's Memorial. It was damaged during the recent windstorm. We reconstructed it completely out of steel for a more permanent solution. I was hoping you and your daughters could bring another picture and come sign his new Memorial. My telephone number is 209-570-1409

I love you son and I hope you know... You are my heart!

Justin how is mom going to make in this life without you?

His death is a tragedy but that his ex wife did nothing to notify the family of his passing is something I cannot wrap my head around. For those who read this, his ex wife not only refused to notify the family, she had his remains cremated without there knowledge. Deb Sarha did not even know of his passing until March. She received a letter from his bank and she called to ask about it. There is no understanding the cruel treatment by his ex, this has hurt his family is beyond measure. My prayers go out to you Debbie.

It is horrible that Deb found out about her son this way. How can the ex wife live with herself, how could she not call his mom and let her know. And then not respond to her calls. This is horrible and I can not understand why anyone could treat a mother this way. My prayers are with you Deb.

My heart goes out to you, what an awful tragedy...much love ?

deb, I am so sorry for the pain you and your family are going through right now. It is incomprehensible to lose a child, unfathomable in this manner. My prayers go out to you and your family for peace and comfort during this very difficult time!

Deb,  I am so very sorry for the loss of your son Justin. I am sorry for the circumstances around the discovery of his passing. You are a wonderful woman, mother and friend. My prayers have been focused on you and your daughters that in some way you find some stable ground to rest on as you mourn for Justin. I am here for you. Marla    

Today is May 6, 2015 and it has been 26 days since I found out that you were gone. . . Killed in that horrific car accident. Justin I don't understand so many things about this accident and more importantly why no one told me.  I didn't  expect Linda, to be so cruel.  My feelings do not matter at this time because you are gone.  I just still can't believe it . I miss you so much! I know this won't get any easier but I'm so angry at everything! I wish I could talk to you and look into your eyes  and tell you all the things that are in my heart. I miss you and I love you with all my heart.

To Jack;

 I am so very sorry that I have not gotten back to you sooner. Jack you are one in 1 million! I think I've aged quite a bit since my sons death because that seems like it pops in my head every day  before I even wake up in the morning I'm thinking of my son. I haven't been down to visit my son in a while I've had some health issues and just have not had the energy to  do anything. But I want you to know Jack you are a wonderful young man for doing what you have done for me in protecting and overseeing my son's memorial. I hope God is always  good to you and watches over your family and you and I hope good things always happen to you you're a good person and a good man and I want to know how much I appreciate everything you've done for me. My good wishes to you always and your family
