Roger O. Warner (known to most as “Briar”), 63, of Fairview Park, Ohio, passed away June 26, 2023.
He was born Oct. 21, 1959, in Cleveland, Ohio, though his heart belonged to the hills of West Virginia. He was the son of Dorothy Warner and the late Hilbert Warner.
Mr. Warner enjoyed riding his Harley, a good party in the woods and being a menace to the deer population on Spruce.
His wife of 43 years, Bonnie Warner (nee Pardee), survives.
Also surviving are a daughter and son-in-law, Rachel and Matt Ciomcia; and his best buddy and grandson, Carson. He was a brother to Judy Warner; son-in-law to Mary Jane Garlitz; brother-in-law to Sharon and Jim Chaney, Linda and Dave Chaney and Kim and Frank O’Grady; uncle to Leah, Rob, Tiffany, Ryan, Michael, Courtney and Colby; and a friend to many. He will be missed by all.
A celebration of life gathering will be hosted Aug. 5 for family and friends. Details will be shared at a later time.
Memorial donations in his memory are encouraged to either The MetroHealth System (through the MetroHealth Foundation) or Hospice of the Western Reserve. Both provided exceptional care and support to him and his family over the past few weeks.
