Warren was a longtime entrepreneur and devoted family man. He began his business career in the late 1960s with a milk business and expanded into refuse disposal with Madsen Brothers in the 1970s. He later became owner of the Budding Polishing and Metal Finishing business from 1982 until his retirement in 2004--a legacy his son and grandson continue to uphold. A steadfast member of his church, Warren served with dedication as both a deacon and an elder, guiding with faith, integrity, and compassion. Warren loved boating, fishing, and traveling. His unwavering dedication to family and friends will be cherished by all who knew him.
