I was a privilege to know Daniel and the entire Baker family. I was able to experience some of the highlights and trials with Daniels racing as well as the sacrifice the entire family made to see him compete and the highest level. Daniel work extremely hard to excel and excel he did! I was able to watch an incredible man, Mike Baker, do everything possible to support his sons dreams. Mike held high standards for the way he shaped and molded his family and never lost his faith in the hardest of times. Mike pressed on and Daniel followed his fathers efforts and gave his all. The sport of motocross is so much like most of our lives and our spiritual walks at times. Sometimes you are on the top step of the Podium and others you find yourself laying on the ground wondering what just happen. It’s the commitment to keep going that gets you back up and on your motorcycle, pressing forward one position at a time until you find your wa back to the podium. The Baker family never wavered in this, not in racing and not in their faith. I am honored to have know Daniel and blessed to call the Bakers my friend.

May the Lord send his mightiest army of angles to surround you during this difficult time, may the Lord comfort you until your ready to get back up and press forward, moving up one position at a time! Daniel is standing on the ultimate podium right now, shining in all the Lord glory. May a healing and peace come over your family that only our God can provide. Amen!
