Hammer Down Spice Brothers

06/06/2026

As we shared on 6/3, it is with great sadness that we continue to grieve the unexpected passing of our co-founder, Bob Hammer.

Bob was one of the founding hearts behind Hammer Down Spice Brothers. His vision, passion, and drive helped bring this business to life, and his impact will always remain a part of everything we continue to build.

Since that announcement, many have reached out asking how they can honor Bob’s memory and support Lauren and the family during this incredibly difficult time.

Bob’s obituary can be found here:

A GoFundMe has been created by family members to help support funeral expenses and provide financial assistance to Lauren as she navigates the days ahead: https://gofund.me/84e90823c

We are deeply grateful for the continued outpouring of love, support, and kindness from our community. It has meant more than words can express.

We may not be able to respond to every message, but please know that Lauren and the Hammer family sincerely appreciate your support, compassion, and understanding as we move through this loss together.
