Warren and Tamara married on December 10, 1970, and shared a union for 22 years, raising three wonderful children together.

He championed numerous local artists in various fields such as art, writing, music, singing, and acting. An annual tradition for him was attending the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concerts with friends. Known for gifting signed copies of the latest Richard Paul Evans books, Warren also ardently supported his grandson Isaac's baseball endeavors. His unwavering belief in his children and grandchildren made him their greatest advocate. Every Christmas, Warren spoiled his grandkids, demonstrating his generous and giving nature. For Warren, if he knew you, he loved you.
