Dozens have left tributes to Sergeant Daniel Baker on a Dickson County squad car, which was parked outside First Baptist Church on Highway 70.

Balloons, flowers, and messages in Baker's honor and memory were reminders of what he sacrificed for his community.

One of those messages read, "Thank you for your service."
