Travis Barker lost not only his assistant, but a dear friend, in the plane crash last weekend, that saw Travis severely burned. Barker's apparel company Famous Stars and Straps has released a tribute video to Christopher "Lil Chris" Baker to honor and remember him.

Friends describe Chris as "a trouper."
Tal Cooperman, who runs skater brand DCMA Collective said, "He really represented Travis and his company in the best way I've ever seen."
Chris is survived by his wife and 2-year-old son, as well as his parents, and extended family.
Linda Warn, Chris's mom spoke with momlogic.com and said of her painful loss:
"When she looked through the blind this time it was her oldest son's friend. When she saw his face, she immediately knew tragedy had struck for a second time -Warn has lost her 24-year-old son Rob in a motorcycle accident just 31 days before losing Chris - She opened the door and asked him if it was her two-year-old grandson, Sebastian. When he shook his head no, she asked if it was Chris. He said yes, and then she cried, "No!" He told her about the crash, and they walked inside and turned on CNN. From that point on she was in constant contact with Chris' wife, Jessie, who was talking to Barker's clothing company, Famous Stars and Straps. The news on TV wasn't confirming Chris was dead, but they all knew he was."
