As a devoted member of his community, Warren demonstrated his commitment through various accomplishments. He proudly led Boy Scout Troop 75 for over 20 years, earning the respect of countless families and youth. His talents were shared through various volunteer roles at the North Museum in Lancaster, a member of the Eicher Arts Center and the Ephrata Cloister associates. In recognition of his impactful contributions, the Ephrata Jaycees honored Warren with the Distinguished Service Award. Additionally, he was a longtime active member of Trinity Lutheran Church, where he fostered connections and friendships that lasted throughout his life. Warren had a passion for the outdoors, frequently enjoying camping trips and travels to his beloved St. Augustine, Florida. His love for music enriched his life and the lives of those around him, creating a joyful atmosphere for family gatherings and celebrations.

Warren is survived by his two children, Sally Eberly-Bowman (Glenn) of Ephrata and Scott Eberly (Pamela) of New Mexico. He will be lovingly remembered by his two grandchildren, Molly (Horst) Boody and Megan (Horst) Foster; four step-granddaughters; and twelve great-grandchildren.
