In Memory of Brent Haick (1978-2009) The St. Andrew’s community was saddened by the loss of alumnus Brent Haick ’96, who died in February 2009. Haick was a Marine Corps officer who completed three tours of duty in Iraq before leaving the Marines to attend medical school at the University of California, Davis. Memorial services in both Ridgeland, Mississippi, and at the UC Davis School of Medicine were attended by many who knew and loved Brent Haick and celebrated his unselfish service to his country. Memorial sites are located on Facebook (“Remembering Brent Haick”) and at http://brenthaick.posterous.com/.
