Ronald H. Warren (Ron) 70, passed away peacefully around 7:20am, Saturday November 1, 2025 in Lafayette. He was born May 25, 1955 in Milan Tennessee to Oren Hugh and Norma Jean Davis Warren.
He was a 1974 graduate of West Central High School. Immediately following graduation, he enlisted in the U.S Army and spent the next four years serving his country.
Ron was a lifelong resident of Pulaski County up until 2003, when he moved to White County. That is where he proudly made his home until a massive stroke on December 8, 2021 forced him to move in with his youngest daughter.
He was an employee of Vanguard National Trailer for 17 years before leaving and doing what he called a "semi-retirement." He was an avid coin collector and had an extensive collection of happy meal toys. He loved to "tinker" in his garage and could never say no when someone needed a lawn mower fixed. He was a master bargain hunter and loved going to different flea markets and festivals. Metal detecting was a stress relief but he always did his best thinking with a cup of fresh, hot coffee and a lawn chair.
Above all, he was a proud Papa. He was always willing to try anything once, including riding the hoverboard, and got very competitive. He didn't dare just "let them win!"
He will be deeply missed by all who had the honor to know and love him.
Left to cherish his memories are:
Fancy Mae, his beloved pug
