Former Attorney General Mark Brnovich has died at age 59, his family announced Tuesday.
Brnovich led a storied career in state government and politics, carving his path from prosecutor to lobbyist to department director to two-term attorney general.
“Best known as Arizona’s 26th Attorney General, a state and federal prosecutor, and champion of justice, he will forever be remembered and cherished by us as a beloved father, husband, son, and brother,” The Brnovich family said in a statement. “We are heartbroken with this loss and are deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support from so many wonderful people across the state and country.”
Brnovich, a son of Serbian immigrants, studied political science at Arizona State University, later received his law degree from the University of San Diego and went on to work at nearly every level of government.
