Curtis " Jay" Hammer, "Jaybird" to those who really knew him, left this world March 30, 2017, at the age of 53. Born in Clinton, Ark. to Luther Edward Hammer and Lois "Jan" Janelle Johnson on August 19, 1963, he bagan the wild ride that was his life. Jay loved fishing, kayaking, the outdoors, joking around and trying to irritate anyone willing to listen to his crazy antics. You could say he just loved to laugh and entertain others. He loved people, though he would probably say that most of them were an aggravation. Jay had an uncanny ability to figure out how to fix things, almost better than MacGyver, you might say he was a "Jack of all trades". With his trademark tie dyed t-shirts, Birkenstocks, and denim overalls, you may never find a guy with a bigger heart. He is survived by his mother; children, Jamiee Hammer and Richard "Ritchie" Hammer; brother, Jimmy Alan Buck of Juneau, Alaska; sister, Desiree' Bell and husband, David of Hensley; uncles, Gary Hammer and Billy Hammer both of Mayflower. He is preceded in death by his father; grandparents, Luther and Christine Hammer, E.M. and Janelle Johnson. A celebration of Jay's life will be held at Clinton Roller-McNutt Saturday, April 15, 2017 at 2 p.m. Jay would want you to dress casually and wear tie-dye or other bright colors. In lieu of flowers, buy some bait, grab your gear and go fishing. Final arrangements entrusted to Roller-McNutt Funeral Home in Clinton, Arkansas for online guestbook go to www.rollerfuneralhomes.com.
