Warren graduated and played basketball for Wall Street High School in East Tallassee.  It was there he met the love of his life, Ina C. Bowen who played basketball for a rival High School.  He was also an excellent first baseman for several baseball teams.

Warren served in Germany and received an honorable discharge for his service in the U.S. Army.  He was employed with the U.S. Postal Service for 31 years retiring as a supervisor.  Prior to and during his time with the postal service, Warren worked construction and belonged to Laborers’ International Union Local 894.  He also served as a crossing guard for 21 years with Akron Public Schools.

Warren had a spirit for volunteering and he truly enjoyed delivering dinners for Mobile Meals.  He was also known as the “Bid Whist King “and you had to be an exceptional player to be his partner at the table.
