Baudoin passed away on October 15, 2022. News of his passing was shared online by former Bethesda Game Studios project lead Jeff Gardiner, who described Baudoin as an "eternal optimist and dear friend." Emil Pagliarulo stated that what he will miss most "is a human so filled with love for his family, his colleagues, and his craft that he constantly reminded me what the point of all this actually is - to be happy, to make each other happy, and to never forget how wonderful life really is." Bethesda Game Studios released an obituary for Baudoin on October 21, 2022.

Background
For Fallout 4, Baudoin worked on content for the Railroad, Deacon, Curie, and Ironsides. He also created and designed the quests The Silver Shroud and Last Voyage of the U.S.S. Constitution. For Fallout 76, he wrote a majority of the story for the Appalachian Brotherhood of Steel. Baudoin stated that while designing Van Buren content, his goal was to make the areas "more believable in the context of the Fallout universe and not draw parallels to anything directly."
