Christopher Larry Warren, 62, passed away on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, after a long battle with cancer.
A native of Asheville, Chris was the son of the late Shirley Maney Warren and the late Stoney Larry Warren.

In his later years after many trials and tribulations, including caring for both parents as they succumbed to cancer, Chris renewed his relationship with Christ.

I know there was much suffering for Chris in recent years. Image his joy when being reunited with Shirley and Larry and all of them in pain free bodies. Much love and affection for you both. Tami
Thanks, Tami. I know he’s out of pain and hopefully enjoying, at least virtually, all the cheeseburgers he dreamed of after he could no longer eat. I’m happy for Chris that he is with Mom again.

Joyce, Thank you for your prayers. I don’t know if you knew it, but Chris was already very sick when he had to get all of Dad’s stuff out of the house in 3 days. It’s impossible to know really what someone else is going through though.
