About 2 years ago in the fall, my brother Jack and Warren came out to Lancaster to visit me and watch a production of Something Rotten at The Fulton Theatre where I work in the prop department. All I can hear in the house of the theatre now is Warren’s infectious giggles while he watched the show. Every screw I place on a set, every brush stroke of paint even, it will all be for him from now on.

I taught Warren years ago in middle school. Warren was a bright shooting star who always greeted me with a fun story and a smile. He left a strong positive impression on me and I'm better off having known him. Bless you Warren and your family.

Dear Christina, Vaughn, Calvin,
Our Hearts Ache For You.
We will always remember Warren’s Cherub face; unwavering smile and his amazing gift of artistry.
Those we love never truly leave us; there are things that death cannot touch.
May heaven hold you in its arms, As loved ones bid farewell, While memories sweet as Irish rain In hearts forever dwell.
The reflections this evening were beautiful. Forever hold them in your heart.
With Love, Caryn & Kevin Quinn

Warren was my best friend from the moment we started elementary school. We must have spent a continuous 5 years together, whether I was at his house or he was at mine. We'd jump on the trampoline for hours on a daily basis, run down to the pool at Sea Cliff Yacht Club, jump in, and run back up just to do it all over again. We played frisbee during our off periods in high school and maybe skipped a few, chatting away over the ping pong table.
You will always be loved.
Your friend,
Travis

Warren had the warmest smile. I didn't work with him often at the museum, but when I did, I was so impressed by how much his smile could shift the energy of a room. I was also floored by his skills as part of the excellent Plexi team. His drink holder I grabbed a seltzer out of at the Plexi Shop Holiday Party was so genius, I had to take a photo! All those perfect angles, the individual spots for the cans, the tiers--especially the top one for the ice scoop! So well designed and carefully made. Sending love and warmth to all who knew him.

We had the pleasure and honor of getting to know Warren as Vaughn and Lexa’s relationship grew. We were struck immediately by his gentleness and warmth. We saw his sweetness firsthand at the engagement party as Warren was working hard to hang pictures to create a special atmosphere for Vaughn and Lex.
One of our favorite Warren stories was the absolute pride he had in constructing a consciously, over engineered, over built “Rube Goldberg” lucite drink dispenser/holder centerpiece and how he was so excited to save it and keep it. His enthusiasm was so infectious. We are gutted by this devastating loss but will always keep him in our hearts. May his memory be a blessing.

I met Warren when we both worked at the YMCA. Warren worked the ropes course and the role perfectly suited him. I was a camp counselor for kindergartners. All of my campers loved Warren - his kindness, his support, his personality attracted everyone. Over the course of the summer (and beyond), we became and were extremely close. Warren was my closest friend and confidant. We supported each other through thick and thin. I’ll never forget leaving work without a second thought when Warren got hurt at the ropes course, racing to the hospital to make sure he was okay. Warren always listened to what you had to say, was there to offer advice, and if you wanted to sit there in complete silence, he would be there for you. Warren introduced me to the Gorillaz. We listened to song after song laying in the grass at Sunset Park looking up at the night sky. I will never forget the kindness and love that he showed me and I’ll never forget the impact that he had on my life.
I included a photo of a CD Warren burned for me. I’ve kept it all these years and still listen to it to this day. I was the luckiest person to have crossed paths with you, Warren. I will miss you forever.

Warren was an enormous part of my childhood. I can remember the hours and hours we spent building makeshift tree houses, jumping on trampolines, and long evening games of manhunt. I vividly remember a night with Vaughn, Calvin, Warren, and my brother Travis. We somehow managed to play a single game of Monopoly for 8 hours.
Warren was the kindest, most gentle person. He was an older brother to me. We are all so lucky to have had time with him.
I've attached a photo of him and I this past January.
Much love to you
