Warren Skinner Obituary

SKINNER, Warren Andrew Warren Andrew Skinner, 17, of Tolland, was suddenly called home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, (October 5, 2005) at Hartford Hospital. Warren was born on August 15, 1988, in Rockville, the loving son of Everett W. Skinner, III and Sherry (Luginbuhl) Skinner. He was a senior at Tolland High School. Besides his parents, he is survived by his brothers, Everett W. Skinner, IV and Christopher E. Skinner and his sister Lauren L Skinner; his grandparents, William and Patricia Skinner and Edward and Alma Luginbuhl of Ellington; 18 aunts and uncles, an extraordinary amount of cousins, close relatives and friends too numerous to mention. Warren will forever live on in all of their hearts. Warren had a special gift for putting a smile on the faces of all that knew and loved him. He was a shining star whose love of life was as contagious as his smile. He was sensitive, lovable, vivacious and kind. Warren will be greatly missed by his loving family, cousins and numerous friends. "Warbie" looked at the ordinary and turned it into the extraordinary. His passion and interests included horseback riding, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and barefoot skiing. He will always be remembered as our "beloved cowboy". Funeral services will be Saturday, October 8, at 10:30 a.m. at the Apostolic Christian Church, 34 Middle Butcher Rd., Ellington. Interment will follow in Ellington Center Cemetery, Ellington. Calling hours will be TODAY, October 7, from 1-4 and 6-8 p.m. at the church. The Ladd-Turkington & Carmon Funeral Home has been entrusted with the arrangements. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Apostolic Christian Church World Relief Fund.

To the Skinners,

I haven't really known what to say. I still miss seeing Warren in the halls, and telling jokes all science class. We became very close over football season last year, we were always togther during practice. One of the last days out on the lake lake last year, the begining of October, he came out. We wakeboarded for a bit, and then he got me to jump off the boat doing 40 mph. I just layed at the top of the water. I opened my eyes to his huge smile and, "that was freaking awesome" I'll never forget that day with him. And every other I've had. He's taught me so much of what i know now in the three years I've known him...

-God Bless You All-

Alot of kids here knew this great child. Everyone had nothing bad to say about him. He was one of the greats. It never should have happened, not to him. but he has had many prayers sent.

November 15, 2005

When Warbie walked into a room, his bright smile illuminated everyone who set eyes on him. He was a leader, not influenced by anyone, but true to himself. He lived life to the absolute fullest, with a zeal rarely seen. Hats off to his parents; they had a happy home filled with love and respect for each other. The bond was strong and still is. It will be hard during the holidays, not having our Warbie as Santa and our entertainment. There will always be a void. But god has a plan for him, and he needed him more than us. I am sure Warbie will bring his special spirit to light up the skies. You will NEVER be forgotten and will live in our hearts forever.



Love,

The Skinners,

As you already know no one will ever come close to filling the shoes of your son. He was my partner in crime and my best friend but most of all he was always there to give me advice. Unfortunately over the past year we did not get to spend alot of time togther but the time we did spend togther has greatly impacted my life. This summer I spent alot of time on the lake with Jack Turner learning how to wakeboard in hopes that I could infact impress Warren. I never had the oppertunity to get out to the lake with him but i know that were he is now he's looking over everyone and he knows that the legacy of Warren Skinner will never be forgotten.

Dear Ev, Sherry, Ev, Chris, Lauren



When I moved to Tolland in 3rd grade Warren was the first friend I made. Throuought the rest of Parker and into Middle school he was the only friend I had. This shows the type of person he was. Such a nice caring person willing to help anyone. I loved going over to your house. I always thought you had so much cool stuff. We always seemed to be into the same kind of things. Whether it be riding dirtbikes and quads or dreaming of someday having that nice Chevy. I'll Probably never come across another person like Warren for as long as I live. My prayers go out to your family. Warren will be greatly missed.

November 11, 2005

Dear Skinner Family,

I also lost a loved one last Decemeber and I know what you must be going through. It's going to be hard for so long and you will miss Warren being there with you. He is in your memories and your hearts and will never be forgotten. I didn't know Warren myself but many people I know did and I can tell by the great sarrow that has swept across many towns in CT that he was an amazing guy. I am sooooo sorry for your loss!!! I hope you can find some comfort in this time of sadness for you. Warren is with God now and he's looking after you all. He is there, embrace it and you can feel him. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

May your faith in God, and the many prayers from friends and family give you strength to live each day to the fullest - as Warren did himself. Brighter days will come to all of you - and each memory you have of Warren will be a gift that you will treasure forever. Lauren, your big brother will always be watching over you as your gaurdian angel - and I'm sure he will help you to find your path in life as God clearly has a special plan for you.

I HAVE HEARD SO MANY STORIES ABOUT WARREN IT IS NOT EVEN FUNNY, BUT HAVING LOST SOMEONE DEAR TO ME I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WHEN THE HEARTBREAK STARTS TO EASE HEARING HIS NAME WILL ONLY BRING A SENSATION OF LAUGHTER TO THE SAME STORIES I HAVE HEARD! MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU.

Sandy Schneider

October 11, 2005

I'll lend you for a little time,
A child of mine He said.
For you to love there as he lives,
And mourn when he is dead.

It may be six or seven years,
Or twenty two or three.
But will you, 'til I call him back,
Take care of him for me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you,
And shall his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.

I've searched the wide world over,
In my search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life's lane,
I have selected you.

Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labor is vain.
Nor hate me when I come to call,
To take him back again?

I fancied that I heard them say,
Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For all the joy thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.

We'll shelter him with tenderness
We'll love him while we may.
And for the happiness we've known,
Will ever grateful stay.

But shall the angels call for him,
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
. . . and try to understand.

Ev, Sherry, Everett, Chris, & Lauren, I know that I've already sent an email - but I read this poem and felt compelled to pass it on . . . My prayers continue to be with you.

Dear Everett, Sherry, Ev, Chris, and Lauren,



We want you to know that we are sharing your pain and sorrow. We are praying for you now and always. We hope that our humble prayers can help you be strong. The strength your family has shown has given our own family strength to handle the sadness. It is so sad to think of this tragedy and ask why? Why did Warren have to leave us, and so many who loved him? Why such a wonderful person had to be taken away. How unfair it all is. But, as the days go by, our family has asked ourselves another question “why”. Why were we so blessed to have crossed his path? There are so many others who did not get this privilege. In such sadness we all will find rays of light that make us smile. Those rays of light are from Warren. They are the wonderful memories that can NEVER be taken away. Warren had an unbridled spirit, and engaging personality, and a contagious smile. He had a natural ability to make others feel important and comfortable around him. Whenever we were with him we were smiling. The times he would stay at our house were precious and priceless. Just seeing him get out of the car, so happy to see us, was special in itself. We knew that for the next few days we all would be constantly laughing and smiling. He treated our family with such respect and kindness. Through the sadness, we feel like we have been visited by an angel. We will carry on with Warren in our hearts knowing that, if we try to live even a little bit like Warren did, we will be better people. His impact will have a profound affect on us, and many others, forever. Maybe that was God’s plan all along. Please know how much we think of you every day. We love you.

Everett, Sherry, Ev, Chris and Lauren,

Words cannot describe how sorry I am about the loss of Warren. Five years ago Chris brought me into your family. You all welcomed me with open arms and because of this I gained 2 brothers and a sister that I never had. Warren was like a brother to me and I am going to miss his terribly. Again, I am so sorry for you and for your entire family circle. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

With Love Always,

This has truly been a tough couple of days for everybody, and i cant imagine the pain that you are facing right now. Although i did not know warren personally, many of my friends did and from seeing the hurt that has hit evrybody at school, i know that he will be missed greatly and you were so lucky to have the time that you did with him. You are in my prayers and i hope that you can gain the strength to get through this. Lauren- you are such a beautiful person and i know that you will be able to get through these hard times.

I knew Warren well, not as well as most of the seniors because I moved here in 2002. But since the first day I rode the bus Warren always made me laugh. I could never wipe the smile off of my face, not that I wanted to. I give you all of my condolences, and wish you all the best.

Dear Skinner Family - please accept my heartfelt sympathy on Warren's passing. Even 'tho I'm a Tolland resident, I don't know your family and never had the pleasure of meeting Warren but I grew up in Tolland & I still live here so I feel a small-town "kinship" to my fellow residents in good times and bad. From everything I've heard about Warren, he was certainly one that you must have been extremely proud of and is now a wonderful asset to Heaven above. May loving memories help ease your sadness in the days to come

Some things in life,

are rotten and just unfair,

some people get a good run,

others just don't get their share.

Life doesn't last forever,

sometimes its cut way too short,

try adding up the logic,

and at times it'll come to nought.

You would do anything for anyone,

you would have given them the shirt off your back,

you were kind, generous and caring,

they were qualities that you never lacked.

And some people live their life,

and they get their three scores and ten,

but some don't get to leave their mark,

and others die lonely old men.

But you will always be remembered,

I'm sorry that you were cut in your prime,

there can be no other explanation,

other than it was simply your time.

And everything for a reason,

even though it's not that clear,

but your spirit is with us,

you will always be near.

And so life must go on,

just like it has done before,

just know you'll always be with us,

yesterday, now and for evermore.

I remember seeing Warren in school everyday in the hallways always smiling and laughing and cracking jokes with his friends. Even though I barely knew him, for I'm a few years younger, he would always make me smile when my day was going terribly. All the good things I heard, and still hear, about him and how people can retell so many fond memories of him to make everyone burst out laughing makes me realize how much he loved life and lived it to the fullest everyday. Everyone remembers everything he did, for everything was worth remembering. Tolland's one and only cowboy is home with God now, but he will never be replaced.

Dear Beloved Skinner Family,

I'm Jaimie Kimball I graduated with class 04' at Tolland High School and had Warren as a dear friend of mine. As being so far away at school I couldn't attend his memorial services but wanted to know that your pain and suffering as well as your memories and love will be in my prayers with the Lord. He was a wonderful man as well as a cowboy at heart. And I couldn't imagine him being any better at the two without his loving family at his side. Again, at the most I can do I will pray from my heart for you to find the strength.

With my greatest blessings and prayers,

I can't express enough sympathy for your loss. I had met your son this past weekend when he came to pick up hay for Noble Steed Farm at our farm. I was impressed by his work ethic, his politeness, and his love of agriculture. I made a comment that every teenager should be like Warren and the others that worked with him quickly agreed. Even though I had met your son, brother, cousin, and nephew only a short time ago I was saddened to hear a young man with so much talent was taken from this earth so soon. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Everett, Sherri, and family,

Sincere sympathy to all of you on the loss of Warren. It's still hard to fathom that he's really gone. I can't imagine a parent's heart to lose a child ~ but just know that there are soooooo many that care and love you. That will NEVER replace Warren ~ but just know that you have friends and family to lean on during this most difficult time. My heart sincerely hurts for all of you. And Lauren, I'm sure this is doubly hard for you ~ but we're so thankful that you're still here. God obviously has a purpose in mind for you. I hope that you can all feel His arms wrapped tightly around you at this time and in the coming days. With love and prayers,

Warren was a good friend of mine he was very popular in school, and a vocal, outgoing member of the football team even when he wasn't on it. He lived his life to the fullest, lived every day like it was his last. He was a very good friend and will never be forgotten. I know Warren would never have wanted us to go through too much pain he would want us to move on. My best wishes go out to the whole Skinner family on getting through these hard times.

Dear God,



You sent a child to me

To fill my life with joy,

And only you knew which was best--

A little girl or boy.

Somehow I took for granted Lord,

That we would have a lifetime,

And I made so many future plans

For that precious child of mine.

Enchanted by that Miracle,

Caught up in each new day,

I guess I didn't hear you, Lord

When you said, "This one can't stay"

I trust you, Lord. Thy will, not mine, Yet I can't understand

This sudden loss -- the emptiness--

Lord, guide me with your hand.

I know my child's an angel now

But my heart is aching so.

I'm sorry I wasn't ready, Lord,

To let my baby go.

There wasn't time for one last hug;

There was no final kiss.

Oh God, it's all those special smiles that I already miss.

So Lord, could you do just one thing For me especially?

Please hold my angel close to You

And say goodbye for me. AMEN



My prayers and thoughts are with the Skinner Family!

Forever in our Hearts



A million times we needed you,

A million times we cried,

If love alone would have saved you,

You would of never died.



In life we loved you dearly,

In death we love you still,

In our hearts you hold a place,

No one can ever fill.



A light from our hosehold is gone,

A voice from our love is stilled,

A place in our vacant home,

Which never can be filled.



Some may think you are forgotten,

Though on earth you are no more,

But in our memory you are with us,

As you always were before.



It broke our hearts to lose you,

But you did not go alone,

A part of us went with you,

The day God called you home.



Your precious memories are for keepsakes,

with which we never part,

God has you safely in his keeping,

But we have you forever in our hearts.

I knew Warren through Noble Steed Farm. He was a great kid. If I needed help with my horse he was right there to give me a hand. He truly loved horses and cared for them in a loving way.



I still can't believe that I won't have the opportunity to joke and laugh with him but someday we will meet again.



My deepest condolences and prayers go out to his family. My family would also like to extend their condolences because they too thought he was such a nice kid.

Dear Everett, Sherry, Ev, Chris, and Lauren,



We were very sorry to hear about the loss of your son and brother. We will always remember going to the Snip to go fishing and seeing Warren pull up on his quad with his cowboy hat, cowboy boots, and that huge smile on his face. He was an awesome kid who was always happy whenever we saw him. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you in your time of need.



Sincerely,

Jesse & Julie

"LIFE IS BUT A STOPPING PLACE"



Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what's to be, a resting place along the road to sweet eternity.



We all have different journeys, different paths along the way, we all were meant to learn somethings, but never meant to stay....



Our destination is a place far greater than we know. For some, the journey's quicker, for some, the journey's slow.



And when the journey finally ends, we'll claim a great reward and find an everlasting peace, together with the Lord.





To The Skinner Family; May the Lord give all of you strength to move on, our hearts go out to each and everyone one of you during this time of sorrow.

Our family sends our heartfelt sympathy to your family. As parents we all know this could have been any of our children. Our daughter Cassandra loves Lauren and holds her in regard as best friends. We love this relationship because of the loving family you are. She holds her memories of Warren taking her skiing or just seeing him when over Lauren's. Loving how funny he was even when he was getting in trouble for "being Warren."
