San Diego activist passed away unexpectedly...

San Diego husband, father, Pastor, community leader, and activist Don Hamer passed away unexpectedly earlier this week.  Many in our community are saddened and shocked by his sudden and unexpected death including me. I only recently met Pastor Hammer and am better for it in many ways. He began attending our Men's Center Second Wednesday of the Month Evening Meetings, was a guest speaker, and I had the pleasure of working with him in association with others on a child welfare reform group spearheaded by a leading California legislator. He was one of us in heart, mind, and soul.    Don Hamer was Pastor of Zion Christian Fellowship Church, Director of Kuyper Preparatory School and just developed and launched www.BetterCourtsNow.com.  Better Courts Now is committed to encouraging attorneys with traditional values to challenge sitting judges in upcoming elections.   One of Don's many friends asked that if you have not done so please go to BetterCourtsNow.com. Log in and sign up to see and hear Don's vision as he presented his political passion to do something about activist judges.   I know some of you may not agree with some aspects of Don's beliefs. That's Ok. He was a good man. He cared deeply for others. He had a grand and long overdue idea. He risked all for his conviction that we deserve to know and hold accountable our judges. I think we can all agree with that. He was a big man in many ways. Filling his shoes is simply not possible…   For you in the San Diego area:   Don is survived by his wife Theresa; their children Stephanie, Sheridan, Joseph , D.C. and Phillip and Don's mother. Please say a special prayer for Don's wife Theresa, their 5 children and Don's mother.     DON HAMER    MEMORIAL SERVICES In lieu of Flowers, please send a donation to help with memorial services and for the Hamer Family: Make Check out to: Zion Christian Fellowship 7997 Paradise Valley Rd.
