Airman First Class Keigan J Baker, 24, a Combat Controller assigned to the 24th Special Operations Wing, tragically passed away March 19th, 2020 during a 2000-meter surface training swim during the Air Force Combat Dive Course in Panama City, Florida.

Keigan was a person that would pull others to the standard of excellence he held himself to. He was extremely competitive, and others strived to be at that same level. It was not just his athleticism, as he excelled academically as well. He brought out the best in others around him. Keigan is greatly missed and will always be remembered by his loving family, friends and teammates for his exceptional character, his dedication and willingness to help others. Keigan took great pride in his craft. He was determined to live up to and honor all those who came before him that gave their lives to protect our freedoms... to "The First There, That Others May Live!"

The Keigan Baker Memorial Fund is a non-profit created by Keigan's brother Masen Baker. The organization's goal is to honor Keigan's legacy and his lifelong goal to serve and protect our great country. Currently, the KB Memorial Fund has partnered up with SOCOM Athlete with providing scholarships to individuals pursuing careers in the Special Operations field and who attend their HELL DAY events, mentorship and development prep courses.
