Our loving and bubbly Justin Baker, 24, went peacefully in his sleep, Dec. 7, 2006, after fighting a brain tumor (astrocytoma grade 3) since March of 2006.

Justin was born Jan. 27, 1982, in Glasgow. He graduated from Nashua High School in 2001. Justin played football and was involved with the basketball games. After graduation he spent a lot of times helping coaching the basketball team.

As a child, his favorite sport was football. Justin's favorite team was the Dallas Cowboys. He would get the NFL statistics guide book and analyze all the teams. After that, he would go outside and play football by himself for hours.

Justin loved helping people out with whatever they needed done, for nothing in return.

Justin lived between his grandparents' house in Nashua and his parents' house in Kalispell. He always said he had to stay with his grandparents so he could take care of them. Justin was always the peacemaker in the family.

Everybody who knew Justin knew him as the outgoing, funny kid — always making people laugh and keeping high spirits about everything.

'He has now joined his brother, JJ, and grandfather, Fred, in heaven.'

Justin is survived by his mother, Heather Johnson, and stepdad, Jim Willmore, brother, Josh Amestoy, niece, Lexus Amestoy, and stepbrother, Austin Willmore, all of Kalispell; grandparents, Helen and Robert Robbins, of Nashua; and all of his uncles, aunts and cousins.

There will be a small service at 3 p.m. Dec. 17 at the home of Heather and Jim, 1142 Lost Creek Dr., with Pastor John Bent officiating. All are welcome.
