Billy Joe Warren will be lovingly remembered in a memorial service at Fair Park Baptist Church on Monday, January 24, 2011 at 2:00 P.M. Rev. Waymon Warren will officiate, assisted by Bob Crowder. Prior to services, visitation will be held from 12:30 PM until service time. Burial will be at the Everman Cemetery south of Fort Worth, TX.
Billy Joe Warren, son of the late Newell Dalton Warren and Lois Nellie Warren, was born in their home in Everman, Texas on September 17, 1923. He served our nation and world during World War II in the 468th anti-aircraft Division and the 95th Infantry Division of the Army. Among other heroic services, he helped to liberate people from a concentration camp in Germany. Respecting humanity for his lifetime, he continued to speak the European languages that he learned during those years and he always went to his annual army reunion, for which there is now two men left.
After the war, Joe went on to graduate from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. He became Senior Executive Accountant for Mobil Oil Company in a 36 year career that started when the company was still Magnolia Oil and which laid the groundwork for the merger which is now known as Exxon-Mobil. An avid learner, he loved to read even dictionaries and encyclopedias. He was also involved with genealogical research. For years, he also served on the Mims Water board of Cass County, Texas.
As a follower of Jesus Christ, Joe’s bibles are full of notes detailing Biblical history and personal insight. He taught God’s Word faithfully in the Casa View Baptist Church in Dallas, the Champion Forest Baptist Church in Houston, and in the First Baptist Church of Avinger, Texas where he was also a Deacon and Treasurer for many years.
Joe’s greatest accomplishment was to have a loving and peaceful family. Married on December 26, 1952, to Dorothy Long Warren, who extended his life with her faithful care, he is survived by her and their children: daughter Jo Lynn Johnson, son Richard Warren, and daughter and son-in-law, Rachel and Waymond Warren. He has six grandchildren, Cole McGowan, Joshua Johnson, Caleb Warren, Lydia Warren, Isaac Warren and Luke Warren, and one great grandchild, John McGowan.
Pallbearers for the church service will be Caleb Warren, Isaac Warren, Luke Warren, George Abbott, Danny Williams and Darris Waren.
Honorary pallbearers will be members of the Men’s Sunday School Class of first Baptist Church of Avinger, Texas. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully thanks you for donations made to fair Park Baptist Church’s family Ministry building.
This world is a better place because of Billy Joe Warren.
