It is with great sadness we announce that Jonathan Paul Baker, known to friends and family as “Jonny B,” passed away peacefully at the hospital on January 1, 2019, at the age of 37 years.
Born on January 19, 1981, Jonny B grew up in Deer Lake where he attended Elwood Elementary for several years before relocating to St. John’s. There, Jonny B was welcomed and cared for by the loving Goodwin family. He attended several schools, including MacDonald Drive Junior High and thoroughly enjoyed the Vera Perlin Program each summer. In his later years, Jonny B resided at the Hoyles Escasoni Complex then moved to Pleasant View Towers.
Jonny B had an infectious smile. He had a love for music and an immeasurable passion for horses. He brought so much love and joy in our lives and to those who were around him.
Jonny B will be missed every day by his parents Ivan Baker and Paula Campbell, his sister Jennifer, nephews Myles, Kalem and Delano (Paradise) and his grandparents Manson and Laura Bridger (Nicholsville). Jonny B will also be forever remembered by many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, and so many special friends.
We would like to thank the many doctors and nurses at the Health Science Center for their support and care. Also, a heartfelt thank you to the management and staff of the Pleasant View Towers for their loving support throughout the years. Thank you to the Goodwin family for welcoming Jonny B and family into your loving home. We would also like to acknowledge the ongoing support from Janis King, Dryden Callan, Dave Hewlett, Dwayne Bedford as well as many close friends and family.
Please join us in a celebration of Jonathan’s life on Saturday, January 5th, at 2-4pm at the Pleasant View Towers (East Tower Chapel/Multi-Purpose Room), 65 Newfoundland Drive, St. John’s, Newfoundland.
Memorial donations in memory of Jonny B can be made to the Vera Perlin Charitable Foundation, 40 O’Leary Avenue, P.O. Box 7114, St. John’s, NL A1E 3Y3.
