But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles.
They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. ~ Isaiah 40:31
T^ucfofpfl ^WcirrCU, entered into eternal rest on Friday, August 23,2002. He was
affectionately called Warren. A native of Gadsden, Alabama, he was bom to Ida Mae Warren and the late
Raymond Warren. He was the oldest of four children.
At an early age, Warren confessed Christ and was baptized at the First Baptist Church in Gadsden,
Alabama. He was educated in the schools of Etowah County. He was a graduate of Carver High School
and immediately began his military service with the United States Army. Warren was assigned to Ft.
Gordon, Georgia and upon completing four years of service, he became a resident of Augusta, Georgia.
On January 7,1964, Warren was joined in Holy Matrimony to Julia Smalley. To this union was bom a
son, Raynard Ray.
Through Christian experience, he j oined the Macedonia Baptist Church under the pastorage of the Rev-
erend J. S. Wright. Warren loved working in the church. He was a member of the Brotherhood and the
Male Choms. His love for the members of these ministries was always expressed in his loyalty and
devotion to serve with them. Warren was a man of wisdom. He faithfully taught Sunday School with a
wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm. For a number of years, he served as a Cub Scout Assistant for the
Cub Scouts of America.
Warren had a unique bond and relationship with Pastor Fuller whom he had very high regards and rever-
ence.
He was employed as a Licensed Practical Nurse at the Veterans Administration Hospital (Forest Hill
Division), where he retired after many years of service.
Because of his love for humanity, he was no stranger to anyone. His hobby was working in his yard,
perfecting and manicuring his lawn. Warren was a man of many talents. He had a natural gift for drawing
and painting. His favorite past time was spending quality time with his little buddy and grandson, Raynard,
II whom he loved dearly.
Warrens love for God, family, church, and friends cannot be adequately expressed in words.
He leaves to cherish his memories: a beloved and devoted wife, Julia S. Warren; one son, Raynard
Warren, I; mother, Ida Mae Warren, Gadsden, Alabama; one brother, Billy (Annette) Warren, Gary, Indi-
ana; two sisters, Gloria Warren and Doris Reeves, both of Gadsden, Alabama; a beloved grandson, Raynard
Warren, II, Augusta, Georgia; a devoted nephew, Charles Williamson, Charleston, SC; three sisters-in-
law, Melrose Williamson, Charleston, SC, Beatrice Coachman, Columbia, SC and Louise Smalley, Au-
gusta, Georgia; one brother-in-law, Eddie L. Smalley, Buffalo, New York; and a host of nieces, nephews,
cousins and friends.

(HusBancf, (J^est friend
Only a husband like you could be all the things you were,
Just by being your wonderful self.
You have taught more, given more, and loved more than anyone could have ever expected,
You were the best.
Ill miss sharing with you each dream of mine,
Yet, the loving thoughts of you will live on in my heart,
Because you were the most important part of everything Ive ever done,
I will truly miss you and I will always love and cherish our precious memories.
Love Your Wife,
Julia
PaPa, I will always love you.
Thank you for the little and big things youve taught me.
You taught me how to say my name, hold my pencil, and color my first picture.
You taught me how to count from one to ten and say my ABCs.
I loved when you bragged on me and made me the apple of your eye.
I was your little shadow and you were my big hero.
You taught me right from wrong, how to pray and what to say.
You always had the answers no matter how many questions I asked.
No one can take your place.
Thank Heaven for PaPas like you.
I WILL MISS YOU.
Love Your Qrandson,
Raynard, II
