His contributions to the community included enhancing election integrity and introducing significant legislative changes. Baldwin was also a devoted family man, a disaster relief volunteer, and enjoyed outdoor activities.

The resolution reflects on Baldwin's life of service, compassion, and commitment to his family, friends, and faith. He is remembered fondly by his wife, children, grandchildren, and sisters, as well as the broader community he impacted throughout his life. The Senate and House of Representatives of Tennessee express their condolences to his family and honor his legacy of service to God and humanity.
