David Warren
August 1, 1926 — April 28, 2014
David Charles Warren, 87, of Watertown, went home to his Savior Monday, April 28, 2014, at Marquardt Health Center (Watertown).
He was born August 1, 1926, in Detroit, Mich., to Charles and Nellie (Froggatt) Warren. David was a graduate of Gladstone (Mich.) High School. On June 23, 1953, he married Suzanne Stauss Cowan at First Baptist Church, San Francisco, Calif. They honeymooned at Yosemite National Park, traveling by their i�rst "car," a Harley he had ridden from the Midwest.
A World War II and Korean War veteran, David served his country in the U.S. Navy and as a watchman with the U.S. Coast Guard. Following his ofi�cial discharge as a serviceman, David worked for the DOD as a naval architect at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, San Francisco, then as an engineering technician for PERA at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Wash. As a boy of eight David personally placed his faith in Jesus Christ. He counted it a privilege to serve as a church music director for many years. He also loved to play his trombone and work with anything electronic.
He is survived by his wife Suzanne; children David (Dondeena) Warren of Anderson, Ind., Vicki (Bill) Mulder of Watertown, Tim (Leah) Warren of Elizabethtown, Pa., Joel (Dawn) Warren of University Place, Wash.; grandchildren Tricia (Caleb) Sturm, David (Catie) Mulder, Daniel Mulder, Megan (Josiah) Enrique, Paul Mulder, Candis, Courtney, Carissa, Jeremy, and Joshua Warren; and great-granddaughters Melody and Jasmine. David also is survived by a number of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
David was preceded in death by his parents; three sisters, Alma (Donald) Macdonald, Fern (Charles) Everett, and Doris (Fred) Young; and a grandson, Timothy Mulder, in infancy.
The family is grateful for the care provided by the Marquardt staff, as well as the loving encouragement of the Calvary Baptist Church (Watertown) family. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts to the church would be appreciated.
The funeral service will be 7 p.m., Tuesday, May 6, 2014, at Calvary Baptist Church with Pastor Robert Loggans presiding, and will be live-streamed and archived at www.cbcs.org. Family will greet guests at the church Tuesday from 5 p.m. until the time of service. Burial will take place 10 a.m., Wednesday, May 7, 2014, at Ebenezer Moravian Cemetery.
