Bob Warren Obituary
Bob Warren
Mar. 4, 1934 - Sep. 14, 2021
Bob Warren passed away peacefully on September 14, 2021 in Edmonds, WA.
Bob grew up in Longview, WA, where he graduated from RA Long. He continued his education at SPU, receiving his BA in Music, as well as a MEd in Music from UO. Music was a key part of his life, as Bob taught instrumental band for 35 years and played the trumpet in orchestras. With great pride he played in the Arizona Wind Symphony for 15 years.
Bob is survived by his wife, Shirley Warren in Edmonds, WA; two daughters, Ann Marie Hunter (Mark) Omaha, NE, and Linda Nolte (Craig) Seattle, WA; four loving grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.
Bob's faith and love for Jesus was evident throughout his life. Bob lived his life to the fullest and most enjoyed chatting with family and friends over a cup of coffee and listening to instrumental music. He loved fiercely-Jesus, his family, and playing his trumpet. His warm smile, deep laugh, and ability to strike up a conversation with anyone is deeply missed.
His family and friends know he is enjoying the symphony with his Father in Heaven.

Marie and I were friends of Bob and Shirley while they lived at Trilogy at Redmond Ridge, WA. Bob was a star soloist at our Trilogy Singers concerts. Once, I had the privilege of video recording Bob playing the magnificent "Czardas" on his trumpet. I uploaded it to YouTube in 2009. Over the past 13 tears his musical skills live in the hearts of 114,210 viewers, 92% of which added the word, "Like." I think this video should receive further attention and remembrance of Bob's musical abilities, so I am enclosing the link to the video of the top of my "hit" list of about 130 videos. Shirley: Thanks for the memories of you and Bob -- an awesome pair. Lyle and Marie Hanson.

Dear Shirley and family, I truly loved being a part of Mr. Warren's band class at Cascade Jr. High during the 70's. He made learning fun and had a very nice way of pulling the best out of us. On behalf of myself and my parents George and Mardy Gadberry who were already in heaven to greet Mr. Warren, we will always remember him fondly.
