Justice Vigil for Ben "Donkey" Hawk

Too many times the punishment doesn't fit the crime. Wednesday July 23, we invite the entire community to come together as one. We will stand together in Ben's memory and ask that Justice be done not only for Ben, his children, family, and friends but also for those victimized by having to witness his public execution July 11, 2025.

We will gather on the east side of the Licking County Courthouse square to share stories and pray for justice in this case.

Ben was an amazing guy that had the best of intentions for everyone he met and he never met a stranger. He was full of life and loved to have a great time but was also there when someone needed an ear to listen. He is sorely missed by those so knew and loved him.
