Coles College of Business at Kennesaw State University in 2016. He was employed by Halpern Enterprises as a research analyst and was building a successful commercial real estate career.

His heart was as big as his 6-foot-3-inch frame, and he had a deep passion for all things related to family, friends and Georgia football. Brian is survived by his mother and father, Mitzi and Steve Waronker; a brother, Jeffrey Waronker; grandmothers Mary Lou Lazarus and Edith Waronker; aunts and uncles Sue and Harold Waronker, Robin and Steve Lazarus, and Jody and Michael Feldman; Waronker cousins Joni, Adam, Meredith, Cameron, Mindy, Matt and Mitchell; and Feldman cousins Jason, Brett and Kevin.
