Frank “Skip” George Baxter III passed away peacefully in his home in Algonac, Michigan, on

A lifelong resident of Algonac, Skip spent much of his life along the St. Clair River, where he

Kristen (Mark Johnson) Baxter. He was a proud grandfather to Anne (Adam Denaway) Dennis,
Thomas (Michelle) Baxter, Alyssa Dennis (Mitch) Haba, and Lauren (Tyler) Finses.
Skip was the founder and owner of Baxter Insurance Agency in Algonac, where he served his
community for many years. He was a past president of both the Algonac Lions Club and the
Algonac Jaycees, and volunteered for many years with Big Brother. His drive and initiative made
a meaningful impact on every organization he led.
Skip will be remembered for his generous heart and his deep love for animals. He gave freely in
support of local animal shelters and took great pride in caring for his family and the people
around him. His kindness, quiet strength, and thoughtful nature will be dearly missed by all who
knew and loved him.
Fair winds and following seas, our dear Skip.
