Thomas "Tommy" Marion Warner,74, of Lake Park, passed away at Colquitt Regional Medical Center on Tuesday, July 15, 2025.
A private family memorial service will be held at a later date.
Born on April 3, 1951, in Miami, Florida, he was the son of the late Marion Castle Warner and Helen Lorraine Gates Warner.
Tommy was a proud Air Force Military Brat. He always reminded everyone the entire month of April to wear purple with pride on April 30th in honor of Military Brats. His passion was photography, often stopping while in the "big truck" to photograph flowers among things that most people would not notice. Many of you will remember him as the "fun" photographer at Southern Dreams Photography in Fitzgerald, GA, where he and his wife created photographic memories for their family, friends, and clients. The highlight of his photography career was seeing the joy on the children's faces and excitement in their eyes when they came to visit "Santa". He loved people and didn't seem to meet a stranger. He loved fishing, his farm animals, playing with his precious buddy Haley and grand-dogs teaching them tricks, visiting his grand-cats, and growing vegetables. Most importantly, he wanted everyone to say, "He enjoyed the ride".
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his fathers-in-law, Bobby Reeves and Waldo McIntyre; mother-in-law, Annette Poole Reeves; brothers-in-law, William Reeves and Charlie Fleming.
Mr. Warner is survived by his wife, Wanda Reeves; children, Amanda Warner, Philip Warner (fiancé, Destiny McConahy), Nancy (Cameron) Hines, Laura (Doug) Brooks, Melissa (Jason) Smart; granddaughters, Elizabeth Hines, Brooklyn Smart, Samantha Smart; Sister, Claudia Fleming; mother-in-law - Bobbie Jean McIntyre; sister-in-law - Gail (Phil) Stokes; and many cherished nieces and nephews and friends.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Baker Funeral Home.
