Seattle family remembers Phoenix man who drowned on his birthday at Lake Pleasant
PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) – A family from Seattle flew into Phoenix on Thursday to remember their loved one and bring him home for a proper burial after he drowned at Lake Pleasant on Monday. Authorities identified the victim as 32-year-old De’Andre Taylor. His Family said he drowned on his birthday. “It hurts my whole soul to know that my baby is not here with me right now,” said Carmen Walker-Benard, Taylor’s mother.
Walker-Benard said her son was a great swimmer and grew up around water. She said he was not wearing a life jacket at Lake Pleasant. Now, she’s warning families who are going to the lake for the holiday weekend. “Life jackets, be with your kids, don’t go far, be with them at all times — don’t go! don’t go,” said Walker-Benard. The Peoria Fire-Medical Department and Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office will have a bigger presence at the lake this weekend, urging people to wear life jackets and be safe in the water. Meanwhile, Walker-Benard is bringing Taylor back home for a funeral. “There is no negative with him. He had the best, biggest heart,” said Walker-Benard.

Seattle Mariners rival getting a new name for ballpark in 2025
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Astros’ home will get a new name on Jan. 1, becoming Daikin Park under an agreement through the 2039 season the team announced Monday.
Drayer: The legacy Dave Sims leaves with Seattle Mariners
The stadium opened as Enron Field in 2000 as part of a 30-year, $100 million agreement but the name was removed in March 2002 following Enron Corp.’s bankruptcy filing and the ballpark briefly became Astros Field.
It was renamed Minute Maid Park in June 2002 as part of a deal with The Minute Maid Co., a Houston-based subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Co. Then-Astros owner Drayton McLane said at the time the agreement was for 28 years and for more than $100 million.
The new deal is with Daikin Comfort Technologies North America Inc., a subsidiary of Daikin Industries Ltd., which is based in Japan and is a leading air conditioning company.
Minute Maid will remain an Astros partner through 2029, the team said.
