My sincere condolences to the Warren Family. I was a friend of Rory in Florida, and just found out about his unfortunate passing. He was one of the most interesting and intelligent people I have ever had the honor of knowing.

Deepest sympathy to the entire Warren family. Very sorry for your loss. Rory was someone you did not forget after knowing him. Even though it has been since 1960's when we were in grade school in Jackson together, I still remember how funny he was and how he laughed. I still have some great pictures of him at that age from those days. Praying for comfort for all of you during this time.

He was about 10 years old the last time I saw him, but I remember a funny, happy-go-lucky, blond boy with boundless energy and his name was Rory. My sympathy to the Warren family. I am sad to hear of your loss.

We were so saddened to hear of your loss. You have all been in our thoughts and prayers. I hope you can find some peace in the friends and family across the country sharing your grief.
Rory was a very special person. His love of life was undeniable and absolutely contagious. Rory was one of the rare among us who always lived life to it's fullest.
I enjoyed every single minute I got to spend with him and you all. My memories go way back to the "trampoline days" in Bay Park.
Love and Peace

Although I haven't seen Rory in probably close to 40 years, I still have good memories of grade school in Jackson with him. He certainly livened things up! And from what I can see from the other entries, he was a fine person. I'm sorry I didn't know him recently. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

Dear Gena' and family:
Sometimes we don't know what to say, but please know that our hearts are heavy and that we love you and as 2 Corinthians 1:2-5 mentions "May the God of tender mercies and comfort be with you all". Much agape love always and forever. (Mel)

My heart goes out to the Warren family and to my best friend and co-worker Rory's sister Gena'. We first meet just over two years ago but it seems as if I have known her all my life. The Warren family are very loving and caring peoples and I know you will meet Rory again because that is his promise to us. Be strong and just know we feel and understand your pain. The sun will shine again.
