Christopher Baker, a 29-year-old Roseville native and a personal assistant to former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, was among the four people killed in a Friday plane crash in South Carolina.

A Roseville High School graduate and the father of a toddler son, Baker would have celebrated his first wedding anniversary next month.

The Van Nuys-bound Learjet crashed shortly after takeoff from an airport in Columbia, S.C. late Friday night, according to news reports.

Four people were killed, including Baker, Charles Still, 25, another member of Barker's entourage, pilot Sarah Lemmon and co-pilot James Bland.

Barker and celebrity DJ Adam Goldstein survived the crash.

Baker was drawn into the world of celebrities and reality television when he met Barker about five years ago at a gas station in Los Angeles.

"Chris told Travis he had a really nice car, but he needed to hire him to take care of it," Baker's mother, Linda Warn, said Sunday. "There wasn't anybody Chris wouldn't talk to."

The men became close friends and Baker toured with the drummer for a year before being hired as his personal assistant.

Baker, who was known as 'Lil Chris, was also seen in episodes of "Meet the Barkers", an MTV reality show that followed Barker and his family.

"Chris and (his wife) Jessie, would take the baby to Universal City Walk and kids would come running up to him and ask him for his autograph," Warn said. "He was so embarrassed because he wasn't the star."

Baker's death was the second tragedy to hit the family. Last month, Baker's 24-year-old brother, Rob, was killed in a motorcycle in Sacramento.

"We're going to work it out. Chris would've wanted us to go on," Warn said. "Now they're both with God. We had our hands full with those two, so now God is busy."
