His grandmother, Elsie Higginbothame of Texas with several aunts, uncles, and cousins throughout the US and abroad. He is predeceased by his mother, Terri Baker of Sanford, father-in-law Donald Parks of Gorham, grandfather Sonny Baker of Dayton, and grandparents Joseph and Mary Tuliper of Rutland Vermont.
