Warren graduated from Miami-Douglas MacArthur High School in 1982. He began a long and successful career in the United States Navy, stationed at various Jacksonville military bases. He served in the Navy for over 22 years. He then obtained Bachelor degrees from Truth Bible College & Seminary and the University of North Florida, in Theological Studies and Psychology respectively.
Warren, having a servant's heart, was led to start Greater New Hope Ministries, Inc. in 2007. He positively touched many lives through his work in ministry and veteran's outreach.
Warren was an educator and giver at heart, and always had time to provide guidance, answer a question, or solve a problem, no matter how small. He is dearly missed by his loved ones, who celebrate the fact that he is at peace with his creator.
Warren returned to his heavenly home on October 28, 2017 after a valiant battle with lung cancer. His devotion to his family and firm belief in God supported him in his struggle and ultimately gave him peace. He is preceded in death by his parents and siblings, Freddie, Willie, Sharon, and Patrice.
Warren is survived by his devout wife, Angelia Smith; two daughters, A'deona and LaTori; a host of brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, other family members and friends.
