Jack "Pe Paw" Warren, Jr.

Jack S. Warren, Jr., lovingly known as “Pe Paw” to his family of Leasburg, North Carolina suddenly passed away on Thursday, October 16, 2025. He was born on October 27, 1948, in Durham, North Carolina to the late Jack S. Warren, Sr. and Joyce Kelly Warren.

Mr. Warren proudly served his country in the United States Air Force from 1968 to 1972. Jack was a man who could do many things. He worked as a Service Writer at University Ford, in the Body Shop at Ray Motor Company in Hillsborough and recently for Orange County School District as a Foreman for the school buses.

Jack enjoyed hunting, especially with Carson at his side getting to spend time together in nature. He looked forward to taking everyone fishing as a family and sharing a beautiful day together and would sometimes go to a car show afterwards. Pe Paw liked riding his 4-wheeler, and especially his Kawasaki Mule but only with his sidekick Max where they would ride all over together and go say hi to the neighbors.

Mr. Warren also enjoyed his tractor, where he would help his neighbors with heavy tasks and even level out the nearby road. Pe Paw was a wonderful and caring father, companion, grandfather, uncle and friend to many. He will be remembered as a very laid back and selfless man who was always willing to help anyone. Jack will be deeply missed by everyone blessed to have known him.

Pe Paw is survived by his son, Kevin Warren (John Simmons); loving companion, Judi Neal; brother, Mark T. Warren (Jane); Debra Areford (Skip); grandchildren, Jordan Reagan and Carson Wilson (Eli); nieces, Shelby Walters (Matt), Ella Warren and Hattie Warren; nephew, Mike Ladd (Lynn); great nephew, Charlie Waters; great nieces, Ava Walters and Lucy Ladd; best friend and sidekick, Max and other loving family members and friends.
