Bruce D. Baines


Sunrise: December 27, 1976

Sunset: July 14, 2024

On July 14, 2024, our beloved Bruce Baines got his heavenly wings. He was a wonderful son, father, grandfather, brother, nephew and loyal friend.

Family was everything to him. He grew up being a role model and protector to his brothers, sister, cousins and sons. He showed his children love and support as a loving father. He loved sports and family gatherings; that made him laugh and smile. He loved to build, give knowledge and educate the people he loved about how he saw the world. His gentleness and kind heart is described by many who encountered his presence.

Bruce is predeceased by his father, Bruce Hill.

He leaves behind his devoted mother, Brenda Baines; stepfather, George; his brothers, Demeko and Trivanti Bains; loving sister, Mikia Baines; two sons, Hason and Naseem Cherry; his only grandchild, Nacirah Powell; and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and his Washington Park Family.
