Andrew Thomas Vargo, age 65, of Bryan, Ohio passed away peacefully on Monday, May 26, 2025 at his home surrounded by family. Andy resided in Bryan, but was born and raised in Maumee, Ohio. He was born June 07, 1959 to the late Andrew and Mary (Nestich) Vargo. Andy graduated from Maumee High School and then pursued his passion for music. He was a self-taught drummer and played in bands in the Toledo area for years including, Locoweed, Wheatfield, Excalibur and the Other Half. Andy was Frank Zappa's #1 fan. He never lost his desire to play and continued to play at home and do occasional studio work for many years. He was a creative soul and definitely marched to the beat of a different drum.
