OBITUARIES: 2000

Andrew Michael Waits, 29, a native of Phoenix, went to his next duty post on August 22, 2011. Andrew graduated from Camelback High School and then served his country as a United States Marine. He most recently was the owner of Mulligan's Brick Bar in Scottsdale. Like the Phoenix that he was, he will live on through the gift of organ donation. Five Arizona residents have benefitted from his generosity. Survivors included his son, Phoenix; parents Mike and Lorie; and siblings Dustin, Rusty, and Lindsay.
