Quenton Hammond

Samuel Quenton Hammond, age 21, died Saturday, May 16, 2020 in Statesboro, Ga. He earned a black belt in Taekwondo at an early age and enjoyed competing all over Georgia and Florida.  Later he joined a traveling baseball team and traveled throughout Georgia until he began playing high school football.  After high school he traveled to Medellin, Columbia where he lived and immersed himself into their culture, becoming fluent in Spanish.

Quenton was an avid UGA fan, and loved traveling to Sanford Stadium to cheer on the DAWGS.
