R.I.P.
Chris Baker's Final Photo

TMZ has obtained a photo of Chris Baker just moments before he boarded the Learjet that crashed on takeoff.

Baker sent the cell phone photo at 11:22 ET, 31 minutes before the plane crashed. Baker e-mailed the photo to a friend with the text, "Go hard on the block."

Baker, Travis Barker's assistant, was one of the four people who died in the crash. The video of the jet was shot by Baker before he boarded.

16. That's not a Learjet 60 that he is standing in front of, it is a Hawker.

19. That is SO sad. I have seen his myspace -- he was obviously very tight with Travis. He looked like he loved life. It is so depressing to see his pictures and know he is no longer alive.

Life is cruel sometimes.. VERY, very, very cruel.

21. His family really doesn't need to see this online. Let it be, TMZ.

22. Classy. Simply Classy.

You replace the video with Travis crying with this?!

Then you have the nerve to file it under "R.I.P."?

23. 7. This young man's brother was killed in a motorcycle accident less than a month ago. Sad for the family.. My deepest prayers are with you all...

25. This looks to me like the photo of Chris has been photoshopped into a pic of a lear jet....

26. What's really eerie, is the ghostly TMZ across the photo... obviously, the spirit guides of TMZ knew a newsworthy event was gonna happen... oooooohhhhhhh........

28. Uhm...the plane behind him is actually called a Hawker...its not a lear 60, which is the aircraft invovled in the crash... i think you were misinformed.

And RIP to all those who perished. I hate that the crew arent being given as much attention as the other 2.
