Remembrances |
|
“Jair Baker had all the qualities of a first-born son. Ever-mindful of the example he was setting for his three younger brothers, he was responsible, arrow-straight and always on the lookout for pitfalls.
In Jonestown, Jair continued to attend high school classes, and all Edith Roller's journals from February through May 1978 mention him. He was reported for saying he was not happy in Jonestown (ER Jnls 2/78), did best when working with an adult who was a slow learner (4/78), and worked in the brick-making shop. Jair and the shop are shown in the Group Photos album on the "Who Died, a memorial album" Facebook Page, but I had to be assured that the muscular man in the doorway was actually Jair--he had filled out so much from the slender teenager shown in his passport photos.
A faithful follower of their stories, Kimberly White-Minter, commented: "Jair what a wonderful guy u were the coolest of the cool!! big brother to all not jus Tarik,Eric and Shawn. Man i miss U, especially you with your cool handsome self, my crush &! may you be happy with your family and the crew on heaven and always watch over us (halo emojis)"” - Kathryn Barbour“I went to high school with Jair after 9th grade. I always wondered what happened to him. He was on the freshman track team. His life hadn't even begun yet. RIP: Jair Baker” - Laurentony Hubbard “This is my father, I was born April 4th, 1978, I never got to meet him however the more I learn about him the more I see what he has left inside of me. ” - Kenya Baker |
