| WHEREAS, Born in Pittsburg, Texas, on March 8, 1945, to Jim | ||

| constable; in 1972, he began pursuing his lifelong dream of | ||
| becoming a Texas game warden, and he was assigned to his first duty | ||
| station in Center; he later found his way back to Athens, and he | ||
| served the Henderson County community for several decades before | ||
| retiring from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department on December | ||
| 31, 2002; and | ||

| the joy of raising a daughter, Micha Dawn, and they later welcomed | ||
| into their family a cherished granddaughter, Trinity; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Deeply devoted to his faith, Mr. Warren found | ||
| fulfillment in his volunteer service at Cayuga Drive Baptist Church | ||
| and Dogwood Baptist Church for more than 30 years; he benefited his | ||

| enjoyed supporting Bobby Farley's ministry in Belize by taking | ||
| trips to deliver supplies; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Although he is greatly missed, Mike Warren has left | ||
| his loved ones with many treasured memories, and they will forever | ||
| hold him close in their hearts; now, therefore, be it | ||
