Celebrate Phil Bakers's Life: Help His Family

Celebrate Phil Baker's Life: Help His Family

With a heavy heart, we inform our community that a long-time advocate and soccer referee, Phil Baker, passed away this Sunday, 8/11/24.

Phil has been in West Michigan for over twenty years as an official, assignor, and advocate for the sport. Anyone who has been around soccer in our area has more than likely been touched by Phil in some way.

As we navigate this difficult time, we are coming together to honor Phil's memory by raising funds for funeral expenses, giving his family time to grieve, and helping with everyday expenses. This entire community lost a friend, a wonderful, loving, and giving friend.

Your contribution, no matter how small, will help us celebrate the life of Phil in a way that reflects the love and kindness he shared with the world. We thank you for your generosity and support while keeping Phil and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
