Change the name of Caldwell Park to Marv Ellis Park

The Issue

 

 

One of our most beloved citizens has recently passed away. Daniel Baker aka Marv Ellis was known by thousands to be the most positive person they've ever met, and a steward of humanity. He spent his life selflessly caring for others many times at full cost to himself. He provided meals, clothing, supplies, and a place to call their own to hundreds if not thousands of people. 

He continuously volunteered his time to help with community events. He believed in equal human rights and treatment. He loved animals. He was funny, charismatic, and highly intelligent. He was also street smart. He knew the cracks and potholes in the road. He knew when to step over. 

He was full of love and offered it freely to others. He fought fearlessly for the things that he believed in and by himself created an attitude of "Shining" in the community through his relentless positivity.

This petition is to rename the entirety of Caldwell Park to honor him and his legacy.
