Lincoln, California - Guy "Gene" Warren passed away peacefully on October 8, 2024 at the age of 90. Guy's love of life and his love for his family and friends knows no bounds. He was a great mentor to many young men and women and was respected by all.

Guy's interest in sports began at an early age in Long Beach, California, where he was born. He would throw a ball against a building for hours and catch it as it bounced back to him. He had a pony for a short time and spent hours swimming in the YMCA and in the ocean. He spent 2 years in Junior High in a Military School in uniform. At 11, he was so grateful to his Father, Guy Ellsworth Warren, when the family moved to Grass Valley in 1945. His love of sports blossomed and his skills improved. He became well known for his athletic excellence in football, basketball and baseball and played for Grass Valley High School, Sierra College and the United States Army in Germany. He also had a beautiful tenor voice and as a young boy sang with the Cornish Carol Choir in Grass Valley and with the choir in Grass Valley High School while also playing the saxophone in high school. He sang with the River City Chorale in Sacramento and enjoyed their tours overseas to Brazil, France, riverboat tour on the Rheine, and to Canada. He was a member of the First Congregational Church of Auburn for 48 years and sang in the Church Choir for all of those years.

Family, Church, sports (basketball, softball and golf), music, home and ranch maintenance and travel kept Guy busy as he raised his children while he worked at Aerojet for 42 years. He greatly enjoyed his many international trips and also his travels in the United States.

His devotion, support and his love for his children was evident every day of his life. He loved being with them, talking to them, learning from them and offering his wisdom and guidance. He is survived by his wife Sandi Warren, Daughters Julie Webber, Cindy Baer (Brad) and Mark Freddi, seven Grandchildren, two Great Grandchildren, Brother-in-law Sheldon Tyler (Jackie), two nieces, two nephews and their families.

Guy leaves behind a world made better by his presence.
