Last JUNE in Baltimore, a young man named ZACH SOWERS was walking home from a neighborhood bar at which time he was viciously attacked. He'd married his high school sweetheart the previous year. She was in Chicago at the time. When her calls to his cell phone went unanswered, she contacted police who eventually put 2+ 2 together and advised her that the description of her husband sounded like that of a JOHN DOE who had been admitted to the emergency room of a local hospital after a violent assault had left him in critical shape with bleeding on the brain.
The bums who committed the assault were minors, (who) brutally beat the newlywed man during a robbery. SOWERS died 2 days ago, 9 months after the assault. Comatose most of the time since last June, he never recovered. In a racially charged city like Baltimore, when there' case in which the victim is a different race from the perpetrators, these things are handled 'carefully'. ZACH SOWERS was white; the thugs who killed him are black. The cretins were apphrehended when they were caught using SOWERS' credit cards. The lead bastard had been observed stomping on SOWERS head at the time of the attack. The Baltimore District Attorney' office offered a plea bargain to the little bastards while SOWERS was still alive, so that in case SOWERS died they wouldn't be charged with his murder.
SOWERS , Zachary Zachary Evan Sowers, 28, of Baltimore and formerly of Frederick and Circleville, Ohio passed away on March 25, 2008 at Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital in Baltimore. Born August 23, 1979 in Circleville, Ohio, he was the loving husband of Anna Cheng, whom he married October 20, 2006 and the son of Kim Good of Frederick and Gary and Cindy Sowers of Circleville. He is also survived by his sisters, Ashley Sowers and her fiancƩ Terry Wasley of Solana Beach, California and Taylor Good of Frederick. In addition, Zach will be remembered by many loving family members and friends, and will be missed by his beloved and faithful pug, Mia. Zach graduated in 1997 from Frederick High School and was a Loates Scholarship recipient. In 2002, he received a BA degree in Business Administration Management from Towson University. At the time of his death, he was employed with Johns Hopkins University as a Senior Financial Analyst, and was pursuing his Masters Degree in ITS from JHU. After their destination wedding in Mexico, Zach and Anna traveled to Italy for their honeymoon and had dreams to see the world. They hoped these were the beginnings of many travels together. One of Zach's greatest passions was music. In his spare time, he enjoyed working as a DJ and spent many hours perfecting his craft in his basement. Zach was known to all as a perfectionist. He kept everything neat and in order and gave 100% effort to all of his endeavors and responsibilities. He was a wonderful and loyal friend to all, always available to listen and he laughed easily. Zach loved his wife, his family, and his friends, but most importantly, Zach loved to accomplish and contribute to the world.
The family will receive friends at the Stauffer Funeral Home, 1621 Opossumtown Pike in Frederick on Thursday, March 27, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm and again from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. A short memorial service will begin at 7:00 pm. Interment will be in Circleville, Ohio. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be sent to the Zach Sowers Support Fund at Frederick County Bank, which will be used for The Zach Sowers Brain Trauma Research Fund at Johns Hopkins and/or continuing legislative efforts for Zach's Law.
