Lori,
Check your u2u. I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. My sincere condolences to all of his friends and family. It is just so much more difficult to accept when one crosses over at such a young age. Dang --- never easy.

Diana

Sorry for the inconvenience. Any U2U would be about business, nothing personal.


THAT post is so inappropriate! :no::no: Don't bother to defend it as I will not respond --- this is a thread of condolences for the friends and family of one who left this world far to soon.

Saying thank you seems so inadequate ..

for those of you that also frequent Trip Advisor, I posted there.

David was - rightfully so - very well liked, admired, and loved - defined by his sweet, gentle and kind ways. I am certain the angels that carried him remarked on this.

I am sorry for your loss, CaboMagic.
You and other true friends of this man who lost his life so tragically show the depth of his goodness.
I'm sure he'll be in the memories of many for a long, long time.
Rest in Peace.

Again thank you all for your comments ..

We've received several calls and emails so I will reply here:

Yesterday Tommy and I attended the funeral of 37 year old David Hatfield. . David was our General Manager in Cabo from 2005 to 2007 .. On May 8th, David suffered a cardiac arrest at the end of a wonderful evening celebrating his dads birthday .. After cake, David slumped in his chair and went to God.

We met David in Las Vegas in 2004 - He was a kind and gentle person, hardworking.. he had an enviable position with a large succesful company, but he was not happy. . He displayed both a confidence and a shyness that to me, meant he was searching for himself. In one of those philosophical conversations we often engaged in, I said "David, everyone has their own definition of success, and happiness. We support you in finding yours" and Tommy offered him a job. He thanked us, but passed. A year later, David called and asked if our offer for a job was still available. Even tho we didnt really have a position available, Tommy made one for him.

While working for us, David opened the door to himself. He invited many of his friends to what had become his home - Cabo San Lucas. Long story short, Jordan's beer brewing business was brought to Cabo, Baja Brewing Company was born. It grew to 3 very successful locations. THIS was David's definition of happiness.

David found himself and was blessed to spend the last 6 years of his life fulfilled, living, his happiness to his own definition. David was - rightfully so - very well liked, admired, and loved. As I said before, I am certain the angels that carried him remarked on this.

What was David's relationship with Baja Brewing Company? Did he own it?
