Warren Philip Grove

Warren attended school in Kennewick, Washington, before moving and graduating from Dayton High School, where he was an honor student and participated in wrestling and football. He later graduated with honors from Walla Walla Community College and was employed as a Civil Engineer at Hanford and the Department of Transportation. Due to health problems he was on disability until his death.

He enjoyed time spent in the mountains, driving,
fishing and camping. He was a quiet person who enjoyed his family and friends. He belonged to Blue Mountain Counseling Association and Confluence Club. He enjoyed giving friends haircuts and helping anyone. He enjoyed
watching the Mariners and the Seahawks.

Warren is survived at home by his beloved wife and best friend Arnez, his constant and faithful companion buddy, his parents Bruce and Velma Grove and Grandmother Annie Oleta Briley of Dayton, Washington, his brothers, Ronald (Trish) Grove of Spokane, Washington and Nathan(Sandi) Grove of Clarkston, Washington, nieces, Kelsey
and Megan Grove of Clarkston, Washington and numerous cousins, aunts and uncles. Warren is preceded in death by his namesake grandfather Warren Briley.

A quiet family graveside service will be held Saturday, October 8th, at 2:00 pm in Dayton. Memorial donations may be made to Blue Mountain Counseling Association.

We little knew that day that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you; you did not go alone,
for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
