Justin C. Warnes

Justin C. "Warnesy" Warnes, age 29, of Columbus, passed away Thursday, January 23, 2020 at Riverside Methodist Hospital surrounded by his loving family and friends. He was born on January 26, 1990 to Richard and Ann (Gregorovich) Warnes in Toledo, Ohio. Justin was a graduate of Bowsher High School in 2008. He then went on to play basketball at The College of Wooster on a scholarship and received his Bachelor's Degree in Business Economics. At school Justin made such a lasting impression not only with the school, but his teammates, and fans as well. His experience at school made Justin the man he is today. "Once a Scot always a Scot."

Justin was employed with Worthington Industries for the last 7 years; it was more than a job, they were his second family. He loved everyone there as much as they loved him. He was an avid fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes. Justin continued his love for sports playing on many intramural leagues. He also had a passion for fitness and working out. Justin never met a stranger and could light up a room. He liked to make people laugh, he was the life of every party and was always so kind and generous. Justin's smile, and spirit will truly be missed by all who had the pleasure of meeting him.

Justin is survived by his loving parents, Richard "Hornet" and Ann "Hurricane" Warnes; brother, James Warnes; numerous loving aunts, uncles, cousins and countless dear friends, who he considered family as well. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Charles and Joan Gregorovich; James and Doris Warnes; and Sharon Fink; and uncle, Char Butler.
