In Loving Memory of Warren Mustard Walls
Warren M. Walls, 1939 - 2025
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Warren Mustard Walls, who went to be with the Lord on June 1, 2025, at the age of 86. Warren was a cherished member of the Lewes, Delaware community, known for his work ethic, kindness, and dedication.
Warren was born on Lewes Beach in a family cottage in January 1939 to Clarence and Margaret Walls who preceded him in death. He is also preceded in death by his grandson Jonathan Warren Walraven. Warren was a devoted husband to his late wife, Mary S. Walls, who passed away in 2021. He was a loving father to his three children, Cathy Walls, Cindy Plummer (husband, Bruce), and Jonathan Walls (wife, Tonya), and a dear friend to many. His family includes his beloved grandchildren: Joy Lewis (husband, John), Brian Plummer (wife, Dana), Brooke Plummer, Josh Walls (wife, Jonah), Karley Walls, and Laura Walls. He is also blessed with 6 great-grandchildren: Lily Lewis, Bryce and Blake Plummer, Adelynn, Wesley and Adam Walls and by two siblings, Virginia Lewis and Bud Walls.
He grew up on Lewes Beach and helped his grandparents, John and Hettie Warren, who rented row boats and supported the local fishing industry. Warren's grandfather served in the US Coast Guard, and he assisted his grandfather as a teenager with beach cart drills, by tying knots that no one else could, and assisted in bringing people ashore. Warren followed in his grandfather's footsteps by enlisting in the US Coast Guard after graduating from Lewes High School in 1957. He honorably served completing 4 years of active duty followed by 18 years in the Reserves. His military career included service at the Lewes Boat Station, Indian River, Cape May and the 14-Foot Bank Light house where he was stationed. He represented Delaware at the relighting of the Status of Liberty in 1986 and volunteered to serve as a small arms instructor during Operation Desert Storm. He obtained rank as Chief BMC and received numerous commendations including the US Coast Guard Good Conduct Award and Outstanding Coast Guard Enlisted Reservist of the year.
Warren built a successful career as the sole proprietor of Sea Siding, a home improvements contractor, where he worked on numerous homes in Sussex County. Over time, his commitment to craftsmanship and family values led to the business evolving into Sea Siding and Son when his son Jonathan joined him. Later, as the family continued to grow, the name changed yet again to Sea Siding and Grandson.
Warren was deeply involved in his church community. He served in the Bus Ministry, AWANA and was a deacon at First Baptist Church in Lewes. Later in life, he became a deacon at Calvary Baptist Church in Georgetown. For the last few years, he attended First Baptist Church in Milford with Bruce and Cindy, where he continued to share his faith and dedication. He began most mornings in quiet devotion, reading his Bible and spending time in prayer. He prayed for those he loved including missionaries, pastors, and others serving in the ministry around the world.
Warren's love for woodworking, gardening, target shooting, hunting, and boating was evident in everything he did. Above all, his family was the most important aspect of his life, and he cherished every moment spent with them. He continued the tradition his wife had started 37 years ago of preparing Family Dinner every Monday night for 8-14 people that brought the family together week after week. His legacy will live on through the many lives he touched. He found great joy in the simple pleasures of life, especially sharing coffee and conversation with friends during regular visits to McDonald's and Arby's. These gatherings were a cherished part of his routine, filled with laughter, stories, and companionship.
