His greatest joys came through service to his family and service to the Lord. Warren and Rosemary were married for 53 years prior to her passing in 2020. Together, they had two sons and 9 grandchildren. Warren loved to spend time with his grandchildren and spoil them as much as he could.

Warren loved to travel to the orphanage with Mission Experience and spend time sharing love and joy with the children there. In the last few years of his life, Warren developed a passion for building the medical center in Haiti. In his final weeks of life, Warren said that his calling to his grandchildren and to the Haiti mission were what kept him going.

Warren leaves behind nine grandchildren: Cailyn, Daniel, Ailee, Jaedyn, Addison, Ella, Avery, Matthew, and Caleb as well as all the children he loved so much in Haiti.
