Donn Frank Baker 

Oct 3, 1949 - Nov 12, 2020





Donn F. Baker, age 71, died Thursday, November 12, 2020. Donn was born on October 3, 1949, in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and was the middle son of Drs. Tim and Isabel Baker, who are both deceased. Donn lived most of his life in Tahlequah except for a few years when his parents taught school in Shidler and Sapulpa, Oklahoma. Donn attended Sequoyah Elementary, Tahlequah Junior High, and graduated from Tahlequah High School in 1968. After graduating from high school, Donn attended and graduated from Northeastern State University. While intern teaching at Tahlequah High School, he met the love of his life and best friend, Sharon Greenhaw. Donn and Sharon were married December 19, 1971, and are the proud parents of Sherri K Cometti and Jeff Baker. Upon graduation from NSU, Donn coached and taught school at Hulbert High School before entering law school. Donn was admitted to the bar to practice law in 1980 after graduating from Oklahoma City School of Law. Donn started his career as an Assistant District Attorney for the District Attorney, John Russell, in Tahlequah. Donn was recruited by Gary Richardson in 1982 to join his staff as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Oklahoma. Donn’s ability as an outstanding trial lawyer surfaced early in his career. He tried many Federal jury trials and was appointed by President Ronald Reagan as the United States Attorney. He served in the U.S. Attorney’s Criminal Division from 1982 – 1985 before electing to go into private practice in Tahlequah, where he has practiced law for over 35 years. In addition to his private practice, Donn taught law classes at Northeastern State University, and he served as the City of Tahlequah Judge for 35 years. Donn was a highly successful Criminal Trial Attorney and received many awards. He was a charter member of Best Attorney in America, Top 100 Criminal Defense Attorney, held an AV rating, which is given to only those attorneys with the highest legal ability and highest ethical standards. Donn was recently recognized and inducted as a fellow into the American College of Trial Lawyers; an honor earned only by those unquestionably and eminently qualified as one of the state’s most outstanding attorneys. 
Donn and Sharon are long time members of the Church of Christ in Tahlequah. Donn loved to play golf with his son Jeff and grandson JJ and loved watching his grandkids participate in rodeo events, and grandson Cade play baseball and football. Donn was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who loved and enjoyed helping his family with his time and attention. Donn could tell the best stories and was quickly able to make people laugh. 
Donn is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Sharon Greenhaw Baker, One son, Jeffrey Donn Baker, and wife Julie, one daughter, Sherri K. Cometti, and husband, Chad. Grandkids JJ and his wife Marti, Jacie Baker, Hannah Baker, Justi Baker, and Cade Cometti. Great grandkids, Olivia Baker and Parsly Baker.
