Deondre Douglas Baldwin was reunited with his grandpa on September 3, 2016.

He was born to Micah Palmer and Douglas Baldwin on June 18, 1996 in Pocatello, ID where he was raised and attended Tyhee Elementary School in Chubbuck. When he was 11 years old, he moved to Salt Lake City with his family and attended Mount Jordan Middle School and Lone Peak High School. He started playing baseball at the age of 7 and it became obvious of his talent as an athlete and his love for the game leading his team as starting pitcher and clean-up hitter and many, many home runs. He also played football and was a loyal fan of the Denver Broncos. He loved boating, wakeboarding, camping and hiking, and always looked forward to spending time with his family, who, along with Desirea, the love of his life, were the most important things to him. Deondre was adventurous. He was strong and courageous. He was a car kid and a dream mechanic. He was working as a Lube Tech at Grease Monkey in Lehi where he brought much laughter to all of his co-workers through jokes and pranks. His contagious laugh and beaming smile brought joy to all those who surrounded him at any given moment.

He is survived by his parents; sisters Aaliyah (16 years old), Chevee (5 years old); his best friend and the love of his life Desirea; grandmothers Nancy Fullmer Palmer of Blackfoot, ID and Sherry Mitchell of California; uncles Carter (Angela) Palmer, Brady (Lisa) Palmer, Bobby (Amy) Baldwin; cousins Rhett, Bailey, Catlin, Braylin, Adilee, Rayce, Kaylie, Gracie, Seth, Noah and Abby.
