Kenneth Lee Warren

Kenneth Lee Warren, 80, a resident of Kansas City, MO passed away peacefully in his home with his loving daughter and son in law at his side. Ken was born August 12, 1933 to Jett and Eliva Warren (McLowry) in Aline, OK. He recalled hearing that it a very hot August day, 20 miles out in the country on the farm, no doctor or hospital, & "smack dab" in the great depression. He always spoke highly of his parents and said he had a wonderful childhood. Milking cows, raising turkeys, riding horses - the country life - he loved nature. Ken was a hard-working family man, who deeply cherished life - the good with the bad. A calm, generous soul but would still fight for what he believed in after listening to your side of things. He loved to debate. He had another side - ornery - he liked to say or do little things to get you stirred up every once in awhile. He was such an avid supporter of equality. He was so patient. He had a few professions over the years. He raised turkeys, went off to college at Oklahoma State University to major in agri-business, then served some time in the US Army, back to OSU to finish his degree and join the Farmhouse Fraternity while raising turkeys and later worked for the city/county. He was married first to Eva and they had a daughter together named Lisa. He then had a major accident that left him disabled, spent a year in an Oklahoma City hospital having his legs put back together, learning how to walk again - he didn't give up, he just "adjusted his sails" and off to truck driving school he went. Eva and he separated. He drove for Groendyke Transport cross country hauling helium. They had a hub in Liberal, KS so he relocated there, where he met his second wife Carol and her daughter Tammie. After some time, they married and he adopted her daughter. Over the years, he had rental property and also distributed the Daily Oklahoman newspaper to local area small towns, he did whatever it took to be a provider for his family. Kenneth was preceded in death by his parents and his sister. He is survived by his 2 ex-wives (Eva and Carol), 2 daughters (Lisa and Tammie), 1 brother (Tillman), and 2 grandchildren (Taylor and Skyler) and many other nieces and nephews. Services will be 2pm, Saturday, Feb 22, 2014 at Memorial Hall: 7310 NW Prairie View Rd, Platte Woods, MO 64151.
