“The ARMLS family is sad to announce that we recently lost two of our own. Brian Wharton (62), former Business Development Manager, passed away on April 4, 2015. Austin Drew (39), Director of MLS Operations, passed away on April 17, 2015. Our thoughts and deepest sympathy go out to the Wharton and Drew families.”
I worked with them both. Just brutal. Condolances go out to both their families.

Great guys. Terrible news.
Thanks for sharing. Our prayers are with their families.

I had the privilege of competing with Brian within the PHX market in 1997. We were both selling tax data and tax maps on CD to real estate professionals. While it was always competitive it was balanced with sense of fairness. We would often leave messages with the Account (for one another) pending who was the first rep onsite. That relationship later turned to a partnership between the next companies we worked for. Brian was always a professional and you knew where you stood. His light hearted sense of humor will be something I will certainly miss.
This really breaks my heart… can’t really write much else.
