It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Thomas William Warren, age 77, who died on Thursday, December 11, 2025. Thomas was born on Thursday, October 21, 1948, in Glover, Missouri to the late Alfred and Mary (Downs) Warren.
Known affectionately as Billy, Thomas is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Carol Ann (Mackley) Warren. They have three children, William (Paula) Warren, Marcus (Heather) Warren, and Karla (Don) Weindel. Eight grandchildren, Brittni (Tony), Kyle (Rachel), Tyler (Hillary), Nick (Maddesyn), Jacob (Courtney), Logan (Brianna), Evan and Ethan. Five great-grandchildren, Haylie, Ryan, Grace, Ellie and Caroline. Siblings, Gene (Linda) Warren, John (Becky) Warren, and Delora Warren. Along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and countless friends who cherished him.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Naomi Warren.
Thomas loved nothing more than spending time with his family. He found joy in the outdoors—whether fishing, hunting, or riding in his side-by-side. Reading was a lifelong passion, and he had an impressive ability to recall details and share stories that captivated those around him. He will be remembered for his warm heart, his love of nature, and his devotion to family. His presence brought comfort and joy, and his memory will live on in the laughter, stories, and love shared by all who knew him.
