With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Brian H. Warner, age 36, of Akron, who left us far too soon on May 29, 2025.
Brian was a devoted father and husband, a beloved son and brother, a loyal friend, and a kind soul who brought warmth and laughter to those around him. Those who knew him will remember his way of making others feel seen and supported, and his absence leaves an irreplaceable void in the lives of many.
Brian is survived by his wife, Jacqueline; son, Ayden Warner; parents, Dawn and Brian Warner; siblings, Amber, Aaron and Travis Warner; furry friends, Buster, Nala and Grr; as well as many other extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Frankie and Betty Warner and Diana Tice; and his beloved dog, Drizzt.
Family and friends are invited to visit at Newcomer Funeral Home (131 N Canton Rd, Akron, OH 44305) on Friday, June 13, 2025 from 6pm until 7:30pm.
Brian’s memory will live on in the stories we share, the love he gave, and the lessons he taught us.
In lieu of flowers, Brian's family requests that donations be made to The Summit County Humane Society (https://summithumane.org/).
