Clive Warwick, 60, is remembered as an adventurer and world explorer with at least two circumnavigations and a Mount Everest climb on his adventure resume, according to the Miami Herald.
Born in England, Warwick moved to South Florida in the mid-1980s, traveling abroad extensively. He traveled, his daughter told the Herald, "because he always said that was the best way to know the world - to see it.''
Warwick got to know the Posner family from being a part of the local boating community.
Authorities continue to investigate the deadly boating accident.

The local NBC TV station interviewed a marina owner and racing boat enthusiast who claims it was a mechanical failure, not racing, that led to the boat crash.

Goldman said Eigelshoven told him his vessel couldn't keep up with the Posners, and he had slowed down to about 75 mph waiting for them to circle back and around.
``That's when he saw the boat coming too close and started turning hard left,'' said Goldman. ``He realized they were coming at him. He turned away from them. That's the last he remembered.''
Efforts to reach Eigelshoven and McLennan Tuesday were unsuccessful.
Goldman said he and Eigelshoven visited Stuart Posner in the hospital Tuesday, where he is in intensive care for injuries to his head and upper body. He is able to speak, but has not yet been told about Steven Posner's death, Goldman said.
