Unit 1012: The VFFDP, will always
remember and honor Victims’ Rights Activist, Randy Ertman every year on May 29
and August 17. We give our utmost thanks to his tireless help with victims’
rights. He is just like MS Bitta, the Chairman of All India Anti-Terrorist Front,
he truly did care for those who suffered injustice.
May he RIP together with his late
daughter, Jennifer
Ertman. We will not forget all of them. Similar to the Rayner Goddard Act of Courage Award, we will not present the Randy Ertman Award to
those victims’ family members who stand up for the murdered victims.

Mr. Ertman died Sunday August 17th at home with his wife Sandy by his side.

After his
daughter Jennifer and friend Elizabeth were murdered in 1993, he devoted all of
his time implementing the passing of the Victims Advocates bill. Through his
work victims can make a "Victim Impact Statement" during the trial
after the sentencing has been decided and the victim's families can attend the
execution of the person responsible for killing their loved one(s) in a capital
murder. Randy and Sandy, as well as Elizabeth's parents, became the faces and
social conscience of CRIME VICTIMS IN Harris County. His hobby's were working
in his flower gardens and fishing. He could sit by the Lake for hours with a
line in the water.
He found
peace living in Somerville by the Lake.
He was preceded in death by his parents and daughter Jennifer Ertman
