Warren attended Brigham Young University before serving in the Australian Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1960-1962. After his mission, he enlisted in the United States Air Force. While serving in the military, through letters he met and courted his eternal sweetheart, Geneva Anne Barber. They were married for time and eternity in the Los Angeles Temple on February 4, 1966. They recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.

Warren was a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His service as a teacher, clerk, high counselor, and bishopric counselor to members of the Butler 16th (Wasatch 5th) Ward and the Salt Lake Wasatch Stake taught his family and countless others the value of service and constancy.
