Mike Warren, an active member of the Santa Barbara athletic community following a standout career as a high school and college football coach, died early Sunday of an apparent heart attack at his Goleta home. He was 76.
“I’m in shock,” said Gary Cunningham. “We lost a great one.”
Warren and Cunningham were fellow board members of the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table. They developed a close friendship after each had retired from athletic directorships — Cunningham at UCSB and Warren at SBCC.
