William Michael ("Bill") Warren
William Michael ("Bill") Warren died Monday, March 27, 2006, in Bryan, TX. He was born July 5, 1917, on the family farm settled by his great-grandfather in 1836 on a land grant in what would later become the state of Michigan.
Bill attended the public schools in Bancroft, MI, and graduated from Michigan State University in 1940. He came to Texas A&M to do graduate work, and taught animal husbandry courses and coached the livestock judging team until he went into the Marine Corps in late 1942. He spent three years in the service during World War II, two of them overseas with the First Marine Division on New Britain, Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Okinawa, and in Teintsen, China.
He received his master's degree from Texas A&M in 1948, and his PhD in 1952 from the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO. He was an honorary Vice President of the American Quarter Horse Association and a lifetime member of the Alabama Cattlemen's Association.
He was a member of the Animal Husbandry Department faculty at Texas A&M until 1955, when he left to join the Animal Sciences Department at Auburn University in Auburn, AL. He was Department Head there for 23 years.
In 1980 he retired from Auburn and took the position of Executive Director of Santa Gertrudis Breeders International Association in Kingsville, TX. He retired from the SGBI in 1988, and he and his wife returned to College Station to make their home.
In 1989 he was hired by the Texas Extension Service to direct the International Stockmen's School in conjunction with the Houston Stock Show, and his final retirement was from that in 1993. He had a long and varied career in agriculture, and continued to enjoy contact with many friends and former students.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Carolyn Glass Warren, and their six sons: William Michael Warren, Jr. (Anne McLeod), of Birmingham, AL; Charles Wicker Warren (Laura Kann), of Decatur, GA; the Rev. Dr. John Wells Warren (Leigh Williamson), of Auburn, AL; James Perrin Warren of Lexington, VA; Joseph Robert Warren of Auburn, AL; and Andrew Louis Warren (Carol Cain), of Cypress, TX.
He is also survived by fourteen grandchildren: Dr. William Powers Warren (Mary Katherine Bell) of Chattanooga, TN; Laura Warren Cox (Dr. David E.) of Winston-Salem, NC; Amy Warren Neiman (John ) of Athens, GA; Bryan Wicker Warren (Jennifer Thomas) of Snellville, GA; Stephen Thomas Warren and Carolyn Elizabeth Warren of Lilburn, GA; Jennifer Meadows Warren and Margaret Elizabeth Warren of Auburn, AL; Sylvia Emilie Warren and Eline Marlene Warren of Lexington, VA; Kate Marie Warren and Joseph Forester Warren of Auburn, AL; and Allison Rose Warren and Joanna Hart Warren of Cypress, TX.
He is also survived by nine great-grandchildren: Phoebe Anne, William Patrick, and Henry Fletcher Warren of Chattanooga, TN; Hannah Frances, Samuel Warren, and Ethan Perrin Cox of Winston-Salem, NC; Amelia Jane and Michael Robert Neiman of Athens, GA; and Jordyn Marie Warren of Snellville, GA.
Bill's parents were Perrin Charles and Gladys Hill Warren. He was preceded in death by two sisters, Ina Warren Welmers (Everett) of Los Angeles, CA, and Jean Warren Whitney (Theodore) of Whittier, CA, and two brothers, Edward Perrin Warren (Evelyn Lee) of Athens, GA, and Ted Warren (Genevieve Timlick) of Kalkaska, MI.
He is survived by two sisters, Marion Warren Durling (Howard), of Elsie, MI, and Frances Warren Durling (Glen) of Bancroft, MI; a sister-in-law, Millie Bedgood Warren (Edward) of Athens, GA; and by his brother-in-law, Joe Glass, and wife Jonell (Seale), of Lufkin, TX.
Bill Warren was a devoted husband and father, and a proud grandfather and great-grandfather. Besides his large immediate family he is survived by a number of cousins and nieces and nephews.
He was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Bryan, TX and the Men's Bible Class.
