Rhett R Baxter

of Plainfield, IL

March 4, 1997 - August 11, 2015

Rhett R. Baxter, 18, was born March 4, 1997 in El Dorado, Arkansas to Scott and Mary Baxter. He passed August 11, 2015 in Plainfield, Illinois, now in the arms of Jesus.

Rhett was a 2015 graduate of William Henry Harrison High School and an avid baseball player playing in the 2013 Colt World Series for the Lafayette All Stars, and for this year's Sectional Champion, Harrison Raiders. He was a two time, first team all-conference (Hoosier Crossroads and North Central Conferences) and played travel baseball for Pony Express, Northern Stars, and Cage Rats. He had committed to play baseball at Saint Joseph College. He was a member of the Faith Church youth group and bible study.

Rhett was an amazing young man who was compassionate beyond his years. He loved with all his heart, was quick witted, love to prank his team mates, and knew that Jesus Christ was his Lord and Savior. He was a model of what a young man should be and touched many lives. He cherished his family, friends, teammates, and coaches and gave the best man hugs that made you know you were loved.

He is survived by his parents, Scott and Mary Baxter of Plainfield, IL (formerly of West Lafayette, IN) and sisters Courtney Baxter of Oxford, MS and Whitney Conard of Ann Arbor, MI. He is also survived by his paternal grandparents, Shelby and Marilyn Baxter of Batesville AR, aunts and uncles, Sharon Meinhardt (Carl) of Raleigh, NC, Robert Baxter (Carolee) of Raleigh, NC, Jerry Self (Wanda) of Rogers, AR, Larry Wilson (Tisha) of Fayetteville, AR and Kathy Hawkins (Gary) of Rogers, AR; and numerous cousins and extended family.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Charles Wilson and Ethel Stapleton and an aunt, Betty Hudson.

Visitation will be on Friday, August 14, 2015 from 5:00-8:00 p.m. at Faith Baptist Church, 5526 State Road 26 E, Bldg. 1, Lafayette, IN 47905. The funeral will be at Faith Baptist Church on Saturday, August 15, 2015 at 10:00 a.m.

Graveside services will take place at 2:00 p.m., Monday, August 17, 2015, at Oaklawn Cemetery in Batesville, AR under the direction of Roller-Crouch Funeral Home of Batesville.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to Rhett Baxter memorial Scholarship Fund, Harrison High School 5701 N. 50 W., West Lafayette, Indiana 47906.

To the family and friends of Rhett Baxter, please accept my condolence. At a time like this, words are hard to find, but I hope this short message brings you a little comfort from the Bible. Jesus demonstrated his ability to raise people from the dead by raising his best friend Lazarus and others. If he did it once, he can do it again and Rhett will be among those resurrected from the grave by Jesus. (Acts 24:15; John 11:11-14; Luke 7:11-15) To find the Bible’s answer to the question “Can the Dead Really Live Again?”, visit jw. org.
