Oliver Baker-Drennan

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our sweet baby boy, Oliver Garrett Baker-Drennan. Born on Saturday, January 13th, 2024, the beloved son of Kelsey R. Baker and Shane G. Drennan and precious baby brother to Olivia Rose (5 years old). Oliver gained his angel wings on Wednesday, June 5th, 2024. 

Oliver is survived by his parents; Kelsey, Shane, and big sister Olivia. Maternal family; Brenda G. Seten-Baker and Larry E. Baker of Mansfield (grandparents), Rose M. Seten of Fisher (great-grandmother), Glenn Franklin Baker (great-grandfather), Linda Mae Baker (Gilbert) (great-grandmother), Katherine R. (Baker) and Bradley A. Bohn of Freeport, FL. (aunt and uncle), Blakely R. (4yrs) and Everly R. (1 mo.) (cousins), Donna (Seten) and Brian Glenn of Kingsland, GA. (special great aunt and uncle), and Mary and Shawna Glenn (second cousins). Paternal family; Todd and Cathy Drennan of Champaign (grandparents), Melvin and Margret (Meg) Drennan of Mahomet (great grandparents), Samantha (Sami) and Cameron Roch of Mahomet (aunt and uncle), and Tyler Roch (cousin).

He was preceded in death by his great grandparents Roena and Charles Earle, and John Lambert. Great grandparents Donald R. Seten, and Phyllis Drennan. Great-great grandparents Katherine I. (Sutton) and Dorry U. Denny, Fern I. (Harrelson) and Ralph L. Seten.

Oliver loved hearing his sissy call him “my bubba” and getting his paci from her, as well as having his blanket and bouncy chair. He enjoyed eating oatmeal, bananas, and applesauce but mostly loved snuggling with family and watching cartoons.

The visitation will be held at Shiloh United Methodist Church (352 County Rd. 2700 N. Mahomet) on Wednesday, June 12th, 2024 from 10-11 am. The funeral service will begin at 11 with Pastor Kevin Little officiating.  Oliver will be laid to rest beside his great-great grandparents at Grandview Memorial Gardens, Champaign.  After the burial, all are welcome to join the family at the church for a light lunch. As a request from the parents, please dress in bright colors to celebrate Oliver's wonderful life and bring a (new with tags) stuffed animal that will be donated to the NICU at Carle in Oliver's memory. 

In lieu of flowers, Kelsey and Shane request that donations be made toward Olivia’s college fund.
