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. Troy was working with his teenage son at a Lethbridge chicken farm on Monday night.

The past year saw the Bakers essentially homeless and struggling to makes ends meet after job losses and taking on custody of their then five-week-old grandchild. 

“What’s happened in the last 12 months would tear most families apart, but it just made us stronger,” Ms Baker said.

“It was a nightmare, just awful, but we got it together, found somewhere to live and have been moving forward from that point. We were looking forward and planning for things being a bit easier again, good again.”

Ms Baker said people had a right to go to work with their families knowing they would be coming home.
