Sad New Details In Travis Barker Plane Crash

Posted by Sassy Smith

 

 

In what should have been a happy time in Travis Barker's assisant's life, turned out to be a devastating tragedy.  Chris Baker was about to become a father once again and wanted to rush home to witness his baby's birth, but sadly, he will never meet his new child, nor will his child meet him.

Chris was one of the four people killed in the plane crash late Friday night, that also saw rocker Travis Barker and DJ AM severly burned.

Baker told everyone that his pregnant wife was going into labor, and he wanted to be by her side.  Travis, who apparently doesn't normally fly on private jets, decided to make an exception, so his assistant could make it in time to witness his child's birth.

And the fastest way to do that, was that ill-fated Learjet.

That just pulls at the heartstrings!  Chris Baker's wife must be beyond devastated.  In what should be one of the happiest moments in her life, will now be marred by one of the saddest.

*Updated* Chris Baker's wife was not in labor or pregnant - he is however, survived by a two-year-old son.

This is such a tragedy…I met “Lil Chris” through my sister Terry. Chris lived across the street from her in Fontana, Ca. before moving out to Studio City and working with Travis. He was the nicest person anyone could ever meet. From the moment I met him, I liked him. He was always there for my sister and her 3 adopted boys. Since my sister was a single mom, Chris was like the “big brother” always lecturing and mentoring the boys. My sister is devasted and so are her boys. They would so much like to attend his services; so if anyone knows when and where, we would appreciate the info. I also would like to send my condolences to his wife and child, as well as his mother and rest of his family and friends.

I met Chris through a co-worker and friend (Delilah Harvey)a few years ago. Chris was her boyfriend at that time and I thought he was such a nice guy. I remember her telling me about him and when I finally met him I thought he was so little and cute. Chris had the greatest personality and he was always very respectful and kind everytime I was around him. Although I lost contact with my friend Delilah I always wondered how her and Chris were doing. It was saddening to find out Chris was one of the passengers in that tragedy and my heart goes out to all of his family members and friends.But just know a spirit like his never dies.

chris a co worker from a past job, was one person that I can say that befriended me when I moved to northern Cali. Not knowing pretty much anyone one out here, befriended me showed me around, introducied me to his friends and had some good times at work and out of work. He will be greatly missed. My prayers and thoughts are with his family.

unfortunetly this is the second tragedy to hit the Baker family recently. Just last month, Baker's mother lost his 24 year old younger brother in a street bike accident up in Sac. He was also a close childhood friend of mine. It saddens me deeply to know this family must endure such grief again in such a short period. Atleast they are now together in a much better place. RIP Chris Baker and Robbie Warn....and to all the other vitims of the plane crash. thoughts and prayers to all close family and friends.
