Holy Cross Athletics mourns the loss of Damion Baker '19, a member of the Holy Cross football team from 2015 to 2018. 

Baker was killed in a double shooting early Sunday morning in St. Louis. He was 25 years old. 

During his time on The Hill, Baker was a key member of the Crusaders, appearing in 41 games at cornerback and recording 98 tackles, 15 pass breakups and a pair of interceptions. 

Services for Baker will be held on July 13 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Lighthouse Baptist Church in Saint Ann, Mo., with a celebration of life to follow at 12 p.m. 
 

Heartbroken to hear the news of
Damion Baker's passing.

A tragic, senseless and cowardly act
that leaves everyone Damion touched
empty and saddened.

Damion's spirit, enthusiasm and smile
will forever be remembered by ALL of
us at @HCrossFB.
