Warren Boyes Obituary
Lt. Col. Warren Charles Boyes Jr., 63, passed away on Sept. 14, 2016.
Born to Warren Charles and Margaret Louise (Frantz) Boyes on March 31, 1953, in Kingston, Warren was the oldest of three sons. A lifelong lover of aviation, Warren graduated from Lehigh University in the ROTC program and was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Air Force.
Warren "Boomer" served for 23 years as a fighter pilot flying F-16s, A-10s, OV-10s and F-4s. After he retired from the Air Force, Warren joined Delta Airlines, where he flew domestic and international flights for 20 years. A lifelong learner, Warren received two graduate degrees including his law degree.
Warren had an insatiable zest for life and adventure and was a self-proclaimed expert in all things. He instilled in his family a love of travel and the importance of making family memories. He was brilliant, loyal, hardworking, happy and always whistling.
A devoted husband, father and grandfather, he is survived and missed dearly by the love of his life, his wife of 41 years, Jessie (Sinift) Boyes; their three children, Jessica Christi Boyes Tillery (Adam), Warren Charles "Chip" Boyes III and Kaili Tiana Boyes; two grandsons, Adam "AJ" Kenneth Tillery Jr. and Noah Warren Tillery; and brother, Jeff Boyes.
A memorial service will be held on 2 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30, at the Georgia National Cemetery, 5580 Knox Bridge Highway, Canton, Ga. A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.

It was a pleasure having Warren and Jessie and their daughter Kaylee as our neighbor for several years. We were sad to see them move to PTC. We are so sad to hear of Warren's passing. Jessie, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

An honor and privilege to know Warren who always had on a smile. He and his wife Jessie were instrumental in assisting us with our adoptions-we can never thank you enough for the joy you allowed us to experience over the years due to your generosity. Sending our sympathies, prayers and hugs-

I had the pleasure of flying with Warren at Delta. I was with him when he went parasailing from the mountain top down to the beach in Rio. He loved it and was so excited! I loved his attitude and was always happy to see him in the pilot lounge. Words can't express the loss you have had and you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am a better person for having Warren as my friend.

I was fortunate to have known Warren and call him my friend. I first met him in kindergarten, and in our high school years we ran, wrestled, and socialized together. My most heartfelt condolences to all of you.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
