Warren volunteered at Patrick Air Force Base for over 1000 hours, served on the Melbourne Beach Code Enforcement Board, and was a Keep Brevard Beautiful volunteer. He was an avid golfer and served as president of his golf association and enjoyed every opportunity he could to travel with his family. He attended for many years the Retired Military Police Association reunions.
