Andre Ahern Obituary
68, passed away on September 4, 2015. He was born January 27, 1947 in Chicago, IL. He moved his family to Phoenix in 1988 where he started his business and raised his 4 children. He had a larger than life personality and was a driven businessman. His childlike vibrance and passion for life was contagious. He viewed giving back not as an obligation, but as his responsibility. He had a love for boating and was always happiest on the water spending time with family and friends. Most will remember him for his kindness, generosity and humor. He is survived by his daughter Megan, his 3 sons Joshua, Matthew, and Adam, his wife Rosie, and his stepdaughter Jamie. Services will be held at Messinger Mortuary 7601 E. Indian School Rd. Scottsdale, AZ 85251 5pm Friday.

We were shocked to hear of Andy's sudden passing. We have known Andy and the "kids" since they moved into our Phoenix neighborhood in 1988. To lose someone like Andy who was such a dynamic, vibrant and giving man is a loss for all of us, but especially for his family. Rosie, Megan, Matt, Josh, Adam and Jamie you have out heartfelt condolences. RIP Andy. You will be missed, but never forgotten.

Rosie, Megan, Matthew, Josh, Adam, and Jamie, Knowing Andy since the '90's I was always glad to see him at the store. My wife Sherry and I found out how he loved his family and business associates and Christmas and the hungry who got help from St. Mary's Food Bank. We loved his holiday parties, but most of all how he taught us the real meaning of Christmas. Andy made sure that his extended family from both coasts made it to the party, family meant the most to him. Very sad day when we heard the news, but Andy's legacy and memories will outlast this tragic loss. Love, Lyle and Sherry Nelson
