Louis Warren of El Reno has left this world to start his new life in heaven. His passing occurred February 27, 2025.

Louis was born at the El Reno Sanitarium December 23, 1949, to Elvis and Mary Warren. He spent his early years on the Warren family farm near Union City. He often recalled the hard work involved with growing up on the farm as the eldest son, but also the many joys life on the farm provided after work was through.
