December 14, 70, La Grange
Warren Early Taylor, 70, of La Grange, peacefully passed away Wednesday, December 14, 2016. Warren was born February 26, 1946 in Surry County, NC to the late Carl Taylor and Nannie Jessup Taylor. Warren retired from Smithfield Foods where he worked forty-four years. Warren worshiped at Faith Fellowship Church and especially enjoyed time spent with “The Young & Restful Group”. Warren’s faith in Jesus and concern for others was exhibited in all he did. Warren always put the needs of others ahead of his own needs. He was more than willing to give you the shirt off his back if he thought you could benefit. Warren lived a life of dedication to his family, friends, and community. Warren thoroughly enjoyed his daily newspaper and loved dining at Lovick’s. He enjoyed the fellowship as much as the food. Always positive, Warren’s bright smile and bigger than life personality connected with everyone he came in contact with, especially children. He enjoyed being a cut up and loved bringing laughter to all he was with. His memory will burn brightly in the hearts of those he knew and loved.
A service to celebrate and honor Warren’s life will be held Friday, December 16, 2016 at 11 a.m. from Faith Fellowship Church with Dr. Randy Spaugh officiating. Burial will follow at Pinelawn Memorial Park, Kinston.
