After the war, Warner earned his B.A. degree from Morehouse College, graduating summa cum laude from Meharry Medical School in 1951.

Twice he was jailed during Atlanta's hotel protests. Professionally, Warner became a successful surgeon, specializing in diseases of the breast. He was an active member of many medical and civic organizations. Warner retired from private practice in 1996 and served as an honorary co-chairman of the Medical Support Group for that year's Atlanta Olympics. He passed away June 30, 2012.
