Family friend identifies 2-year-old struck and killed by car in Scottsdale
By: Jamie Warren
"SCOTTSDALE, AZ — A family friend has identified the 2-year-old struck and killed by car on Saturday in Scottsdale as John Warren Mahlke.
She says the family was waiting for a table outside a restaurant off Hayden and Royal Palm Road, when the 28-year-old female driver went over the sidewalk and into the grass, hitting him unexpectedly.
The friend is raising money so the family can transport John Warren back home to San Pedro, California.
In a GoFundMe page post, she wrote that the family was in Arizona to attend spring training because "John Warren showed joy and love for baseball. They had planned this to be the beginning of a long family tradition."
Police say speed and impairment were not factors in the crash, but they're still investigating why the driver veered off the road. If you would like to help the family, please visit their GoFundMe page."

" It is with the heaviest of broken hearts that we mourn the loss of our beautiful boy, John Warren, who was suddenly welcomed into the arms of our Lord on March 7, 2020. He was our love, our light and our joy. John Warren left a remarkable impact on this world in his two short years. He had a kind spirit and loving heart that will live on in each of us who knew him. His parents, Patrick and Sarah Mahlke, along with his grandparents, John and Roni Iacono and Peter and Lonnie Mahlke, have arranged a viewing and rosary to bless John's life that will be held in the chapel at Green Hills Memorial Park in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA on March 22, 2020 from 4:00PM-8:30PM. A rotation of 50 people at a time within the chapel will occur during visitation. A private funeral will be held on Monday, March 23, 2020. Under the current circumstances and restrictions that we are all facing, a celebration of life to honor John Warren will be held at a later date so that we may include our family, friends, and most importantly our community, whose support and generosity has guided us through the most challenging time in our lives."
