L.C. Baird, 80

December 01, 2023

L.C. Baird of Lancaster, formerly of Frisco, Texas, passed away on December 1, 2023. Born in Merkel, TX, L.C. was the son of the late Lloyd Clarence and Geneva Juanita (Hammack) Baird. In high school, he was president of the FFA club and achieved a champion pig trophy.

After graduating high school, L.C. began his career in telecommunications at Motorola in El Paso, TX in the early 1970’s. He climbed up the corporate ladder and worked for Peter Kiewit, MFS, and lastly, Allegiance Telecom in Dallas where he retired in the early 2000s where he retired as President.

Stating L.C. loved the Dallas Cowboys is an understatement as he was their ultimate fan. He also loved his dogs, Gringo and Principe as well as his electric 3-wheeler which he affectionately called “Mamacita.” His true heart and devotion remained with his family, especially his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

L.C. is survived by his children: Mindy L. Terry (wife of Darren) of Dawson, TX and Lance Andrew Baird (husband of Jamie) of Lancaster; his grandchildren: Megan Whiteside (wife of Matt), Taylor Maass, Conner Maass (husband of Stormi); Harper Baird, Lila Baird, Reagan Baird, and Amanda Terry; his great-grandchildren: Lilly and Oliver Maass; his two brothers: Ronnie Baird (husband of Diane) of Abilene, TX and Mike Baird (husband of Tootie Vickers) of Corpus Christi, TX.; a special family friend Tina Allen and her daughter Kassidy whom he considered family, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Services will be held at a later date in Abilene, TX. at North’s Funeral Home.

In lieu of flowers, donations in L.C.’s name may be made to the American Parkinson Disease Association.
