Our fun-loving grandpa, father, and husband passed through the veil after a long battle with Parkinson's Disease on February 6, 2010.


His loving wife, Pat, and daughter, Katherine, were at his side providing devoted care with the support and help of Kate's husband, Dr. C. Kerry Stratford. Dad lived a life of service. His highest purpose in life was to be a good husband, father, and grandfather and to help make the world a better place each day by serving others.


He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah to Charles Albert and Effie Dean Woolley Warren on July 29, 1928.


While being raised by their little mother, Eddy, and his brother and sister, he lived a life of many adventurous and heartwarming stories that he often told his children. Dad attended West High School in Salt Lake City, where he played football and tennis and had many cherished, close friends. He attended BYU majoring in Physical Education.


It was there he met the only girl that could steal his heart, Patsie Lee Kohler. They were married in Ogden Utah on October 7, 1950 and later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple by Spencer Woolley Kimball on June 4, 1952. Dad had a strong work ethic and taught us by example, always at our side teaching us to appreciate a job well done. He would often slip in words of wisdom that became the foundation we needed in later years.


Dad was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He served in many callings; Kearns North Stake Athletic Director, Stake Missionary, Seventy's Group Leader, Counselor in Bishopric, Temple Worker - Jordan River Temple, High Priest Group Leader in Bennion, and Executive Secretary to at least nine Bishops which he truly loved doing. Ed and Pat had fun serving together as Kearns North Stake Dance Directors. He performed Home Teaching with great compassion.


He was a wonderful provider for his family, often working two jobs. He was employed at Hercules Powder Company for thirty years.


Retiring in St. George, Utah allowed him to enjoy the game of golf almost year round for several years. He and Mom loved their time together in the sunshine, making their little house a home where their children and grandchildren could come and feel of their love.


Preceded in death by his parents; three granddaughters; brother, Calvin Warren; and brother-in-law, Keith Pendleton. Survived by his wife, Pat Warren; four children; Barr (Mercedes), Kimbal (Gayle), Katherine (Kerry) Stratford, A. J (Tomi Gayle); fourteen grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; sister, Ellie Pendleton; sister-in-law, Virginia Warren; and many nephews and nieces.


Funeral Services will be held on Thursday, February 11, 2010 at 11:30 a.m. in the Bennion Stake Center, 6250 South 2200 West, Taylorsville, Utah, where a viewing will be held from 10:00-11:00 a.m. prior to the services.
Interment: Redwood Memorial Estates.
