Conservative Commentator Mary Katharine Ham Announces Tragic Death of Her White House Advisor Husband
September 21, 2015
"We lost our Jake yesterday, and I lost part of my heart and the father of my sweet babies."
Fox News contributor and popular conservative commentator Mary Katharine Ham announced the tragic death of her husband and White House advisor Jake Brewer on Sunday in an emotional Instagram Post.
The Washington Post reported that Brewer, 34, died after losing control of his bicycle and crashing into an oncoming car.
“We lost our Jake yesterday, and I lost part of my heart and the father of my sweet babies. I don’t have to tell most of you how wonderful he was. It was self-evident. His life was his testimony, and it was powerful and tender and fierce, with an ever-present twinkle in the eye,” Ham wrote. “I will miss him forever, even more than I can know right now.”
Conservative commentator Guy Benson later set up a GoFundMe page to “help ensure that Mary Katharine and the family have everything they need,” including the education of their children.
A “heartbroken” President Barack Obama released a statement on Brewer’s death Sunday, saying he was “one of the best.”
Read Obama’s full statement below:
I am heartbroken at the tragic loss of one of my advisors, Jake Brewer. We set out to recruit the best of the best to join their government and help us harness the power of technology and data to innovate new solutions for the 21st century. Simply put, Jake was one of the best. Armed with a brilliant mind, a big heart, and an insatiable desire to give back, Jake devoted his life to empowering people and making government work better for them. He worked to give citizens a louder voice in our society. He engaged our striving immigrants. He pushed for more transparency in our democracy. And he sought to expand opportunity for all. I’ve often said that today’s younger generation is smarter, more determined, and more capable of making a difference than I was as a young man. Jake was proof of that. Michelle and I are praying for all of Jake’s family and his many friends, most of all his wife, Mary Katharine Ham, their daughter, Georgia, and their growing family. They'll always have a family here at the White House.
