James Donald Baird – December 14, 1943 – August 21, 2023
Jim passed away unexpectedly after a short illness.
He was raised and worked on his family farm west of Winsted, MN. He was a faithful husband to Ruth, a beloved father to seven children, adored grandpa to twenty-two grandchildren and four great-grandkids. Admired by many relatives and friends.
He lived his faith in the grace of the Triune God. This kind, generous, selfless gentleman will be dearly missed by anyone that had the pleasure of knowing him.
A private service will be held at a later date.
Memorials may be given to St. John’s Lutheran Church Building Fund, Winsted, MN.
Ruthie and family our condolences to all of you during this time. God’s comfort and peace be with you all.
This was such a shock to hear of Jim’s passing. He is now with Jesus. Ruth and family may you find comfort with our Lord at this time.
My heart is breaking for all of you. It is so correct…..a kind, generous, selfless man. I am so thankful to have had the pleasure to know him. Always a smile and a twinkle in his eyes. Especially for his family. Rest in peace Jim. You have earned your angel wings.
Love & Hugs, Sharon Nelson
