Dwayne Warren, born October 4, 1965, in Detroit, Michigan, passed away on March 2, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. He was the beloved son of Lee and Jewell Warren.
He is survived by his sisters Donna (husband Jim Lorenzo) and Wendy (husband Luis Brock), and his brother Jamie Warren.
Dwayne was a proud and devoted father to Nicole (husband Jason), Dwayne (wife Morgan), Ashley (husband Brian), Shane (wife Becca), and Travis. His greatest joy in life was his children and grandchildren - Jacob, Jeremiah, Abigail, Alyssa, Trent, Alex, Audrina, Blake, Cody, Lee, Caleb, Bear, and Gavin. He often said they were his greatest accomplishment and made sure they always knew it.
A true Detroit native, Dwayne loved sports, especially cheering on the Detroit Lions and Detroit Tigers. He enjoyed betting on games, spending time with family, and being in the kitchen where he loved to throw down and cook for the people he loved. He was known as a great cook and took pride in feeding everyone around him.
Dwayne spoke softly but carried a strong presence. His raspy, contagious laugh could light up a room. Known for his quiet, mumbling humor, he was always making jokes and bringing smiles to those around him. He was deeply sensitive with the people he loved and never liked the thought of someone close to him being upset.
Dwayne was a protector, a loyal friend, and a devoted father and grandfather. His love, laughter, and strength will live on through all who knew him.
Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort knowing his love remains with us always. He will be profoundly missed every single day.
