James M. Warren

James M. Warren, who passed away at the end of December 2022, left behind a large family who will mourn the rest of their lives, despite their strong faith in reuniting with him again in God’s kingdom. James was kind, loving, compassionate, hard working and had a great sense of humor. He had a smile that would light up a room. Everyone he met loved him as they immediately felt his warmth and vitality James was always ready to lend a hand and give guidance to others whenever possible. James was the owner of ASAP flooring, a very successful business. Starting as a flooring technician he sought out friends to give them work. His business grew to include custom tile work and detailed work on counters and backsplashes where he was able to showcase his designing skills. His artistic skill was noted by his 4th grade teacher who said that in all the years of teaching, had never been seen anyone draw with such detail. James’ love of drawing continued through his adult life. He loved so many things: art, landscaping, skateboarding, cooking playing chess with his older brother, learning to play guitar and fixing things. As a teenager, James wanted to help children in the neighborhood with their bikes. He started a bike repair shop with his neighbor and longtime friends Jeff. They collected bike parts and made business cards: “Jeff and James, Bikes and Frames.” Although James loved so many things, when his children arrived, he loved spending time with them the most. His life was centered around his children and their mother Leslie as they were everything to him. Whenever a family gathering was held, James volunteered to help and grilled for hours. He made the best Eggs Benedict and enjoyed cooking for others. At age 40 James left this earth too soon. His wings were ready, but his family’s hearts were not ready to let him go. He lives on in all who were blessed to know him, especially his children. He is survived by his mother, Renee Meryman (Rick Meryman), his father James M. Warren (Katherine Warren), his daughter Alexia and son James, his brothers Joseph Kubik, Jason Collins, Jason Warren, his sisters Rena Warren, Jennifer Collins and many other family members. The family is having a private funeral and memorial service.
