He was the much-loved son of  Sharon Lee Kiel the late Warren Lee Yates Sr. His life was a testament to devotion and kindness, epitomized in the 40 years he dedicated to his chosen profession as a skilled mechanic.

Warren found great joy in the simple pleasures of life, most notably when he was out fishing on his beloved boat or when music filled the air around him. These moments reflected the spirit of a man who was not only kind and loving but also contagiously outgoing.
