| About | The Lord welcomed a Christian into Heaven from his family home. David Lee Hamaker died unexpectedly and went to be with his Lord and Savior in the early morning of October 28, 2010. In 1997, Mr. Hamaker and his wife moved to Alabama where he was a teacher and Principal of the Mowa Choctaw Friends Center. After a severe auto-truck accident, Mr. Hamaker later returned to Marion. He was no longer able to teach, but he continued his life long love of children, especially his niece and nephew, Kristen and Nick Strausbaugh. David had wide interests including history and Christian Literature. He also wrote poetry, loved the Cincinnati Reds and never missed a TV game. He was a devout Christian of great faith and an example for all who knew him. Crippled, and losing an eye in the accident, his faith only grew stronger and he was a witness for Christ. |
