CHAD ELLERY BAKER

Condolences & Memories (5 entries)

• Hi Dawn, it has taken me a few years to be able to write this. Chad was truly a great friend he was a big brother to me, and was always there when I needed him. We knew each other for over 10 years. I had met him while going to school, we hit it off quite well being nerdy and all with videogames (World of Warcraft). Finding out about his passing hit me like a ton of bricks. I was truly broken. A week prior to his passing he had just popped by without warning just wanting to chat about how he was excited to move to Vancouver... I did not put it together.. I am so sorry. As I said before he was always there for me and that day I failed him.... he was hurting and I could not get passed the day I was having "so selfish" and this is something I will live with for the rest of my life. Chad had spent quite a few Christmas, Thanksgiving dinners and birthdays with me and my family. As I said he was a brother to me. It has been a few years now and we are coming up on another Christmas without Chad and I just wanted you to know that he is still remembered and will not be forgotten. Some of the things that Chad would say off the cuff would be inappropriate but he would just be looking for a reaction... any reaction really would please him. He was corky and had a tenderness to him when he knew something was off. He made sure to touch base with me at least once a week just to check in and make sure all was well in the world. As I said he was protective of me and really did not introduce me to many of his friends nor his family - he said that was a way of protecting me. I wanted to come talk with you at the funeral but I could not find the words or hold back the tears. I just could not stay at the funeral for the reception. Chad will always hold a place in my heart as my big brother, he will truly be missed. - Posted by: Andrea (Friend ) on: Nov 21, 2020

• Hello Aunty Dawn, I have just heard... so sorry for your loss. I have to agree with Shari and say we will remember all times we argued like siblings and all the times we joked and laughed together. Chad will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Carianne Cyr (nee Morin ) (Niece to Len) on: Sep 25, 2017

• Hi "Aunty" Dawn I just heard.... I am so sorry for your loss. I remember all the great times we had as kids with Chad. The three of us girls would also argue with him like siblings. It was also great to see him at dad's funeral. May he Rest in Peace - Posted by: Shari Saucier (nee Morin) (Niece of Len) on: Sep 24, 2017

• My deepest condolences to you Dawn. I only met Chad once. May he now be at peace. I know first hand how mental illness can affect someone and all of their family and friends. There are no words to make it any less painful. Just know there are many people who are sadden today and our thoughts are with you. May his spirit be with you always in your heart and your happy memories comfort you.
