Derald C. Baskin
Dee, a humble servant of God, passed away on March 27th at 77 years old. He was born in Minn, MN but spent most of his life in the Seattle area. He graduated from Cleveland H.S., served in the Air Force, and worked as an electrician for 37 years. He was active in Boy Scouts and served as an advisor for the M.V. Juvenile Court. He bowled in leagues for his entire life and especially loved the outdoors; fishing, playing baseball, and golfing whenever he could. Dee’s greatest passion was his service for Christ. He was involved in a prison discipleship ministry, led Bible Studies, and used his skills to minister to others. He was also wholeheartedly committed to supporting Gateway Medical Alliance in its medical ministry to missionaries in North Africa. He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Marlin, and three children; Susan, David, and Tim, seven grandchildren, and two great grandchildren. A celebration of Dee’s life will be held at Faith Baptist Church, 25636 – 140th Ave SE, Kent, WA on Wed, April 7th at 2:00. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Gateway Medical Alliance, 10611 Canyon Rd, Puyallup, WA, 98373 or Faith Baptist Church.
