I would always get excited when I heard that Warren was coming for a visit to NC. I knew I would get to play in the dirt, the mud. I knew I would get to hear him laugh. I knew we would wade the branches, fish the creeks and share memories that would withstand time, memories that would take us back to the foundations of our youth. Those memories are important to me and they were important to Warren as well. I’m thankful for the times I got to share with him, for his heart, his laughter and his confidence that in our youth we could conquer anything before us. I will mourn the fact that our youth together has passed but I will smile and remember the grand adventures of our childhood. May God bring peace to his family and faith that he is on a new adventure.
Warren was a true friend. Many of the best days I spent at the Post Office were with Warren. He was a joy to know and share time with. I will always remember the cake he brought me when I left the flat sorter. His sense of humor was unequaled. You have my sympathies on this devastating loss to your family. So untimely. You are all in my prayers. May you Rest In Peace my dear friend.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I worked with Warren for 7 years before being reassigned to Austin. He was nice and had a wonderful sense of humor. He was very smart. He knew a lot about almost everything. I am so sorry for your loss. He spoke fondly about all of his family.
The world has dimmed with the passing of a loving soul. But to be sure Warren will never be gone as he lives in the minds and hearts of all he touched. May those thoughts and memories sustain all of us who loved him as we learn to move forward. Love to Michaela, Garrett, and the entire family.
Warren will always be remembered as a very good man and friend. we worked many long, hard days & nights at the US Postal Service in Waco but also had good, fun times there too. we even went to a couple of concerts together. he always enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest when I knew him. so goodbye old friend for now until we meet again up yonder. here’s wishing all his family & friends all the best always. God Bless.
I’m so sorry to hear this.
My deepest sympathy to you all
Linda, and the entire Garland Family,
I pray the All-Father and only God will keep you very close to him at this time of sorrow. My prayers are with you, as they always are. Rest in Him. Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning, as the Psalmist says. So be comforted, my dear friend.
