Click on your name.

Click on the 'Friends' link under your name, slightly to the right.

Look for him in the list.

Hover your cursor over the checkmark/Friends box next to his name.

Scroll down the list that pops up and uncheck 'Show In News Feed.'

I had to do this with a gun nut/anti-Obama friend just before the election and fucking Facebook doesn't make it easy.

They will not know you have done this, unlike un-friending them.
