Houston Deneke Memorial

About Me

Brian Deneke was murdered on December 12, 1997 -He was 19 years old-Brian did not die because he deserved to. Brian did not die because he asked to. Brian died because he was different. He was a nonconformist. He was an Individualist. He was a free spirit. Brian was also a thoughtful and caring young man, a good son, a good friend. His life was full of promise. His murder deprived our community of someone who had already begun to make a difference to it and no doubt would have made an even greater difference in the future. Brian Deneke is gone. His death has left a divided city, a shocked city, a hurt city in its wake. It has also left us a memory of who Brian was and what he stood for. That memory can serve either a negative purpose or a positive one.We want to let our memory of Brian and what he stood for serve a positive purpose. To that end, we have organized the Brian Deneke Memorial Committee. We believe that his memory, and this committee, can serve the following goals:-To encourage tolerance, dialog, and civilized respect for different lifestyles and perspectives in this community-To see that justice is done through the legal system-To discourage violence and prevent acts of retaliation-To actually support the victims of this crimeEvery year we have held a memorial in Amarillo and this year it's going to happen in one day in the name of Unity all across The US and even in Canada on December 8th. The Houston Chapter is up and the show will be finanlized soon. This will be a benefit show to raise money to be donated to charities.I edited my profile at Quacked.com , check out these Myspace Layouts!

I'd like to meet:

Brian's friends from across the States. Punks and Skins and anyone who has ever been persecuted for for sticking out a little and has had to face a lot of adversity to stay true to themselves. Those who have lost close friends, family, and role models. Open minded people.I edited my profile at Quacked.com , check out these Myspace Layouts!
