Workplace tragedy: ‘I love you’, says Troy Baker’s last text
THE last text message Troy Baker sent to his wife was “I love you”.
It came through one hour before the Wallington dad was hit and killed by a forklift while working with his teenage son at a Lethbridge chicken farm on Monday night.
“When the accident happened, nobody rang me but I knew,” his heartbroken wife Tamar Baker said.
“I had a massive anxiety attack and, when the police came to my door, I already knew he was gone.”
The 41-year-old man will be remembered by Ms Baker, their three children and grandchild as someone who would do anything for them.
Not a “things or stuff guy” and a little rough around the edges, Ms Baker has paid tribute to the selfless man who lived for his family and would go out of his way to help others.
