MONUMENT, COLORADO - Mark "Tony" Warren, 77, passed away on January 22, 2026, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Born on October 17, 1948, in Lancaster, California, Tony lived a life marked by deep devotion to family, tireless work ethic, and an adventurous spirit that touched countless lives.

Tony spent his early years in Lancaster before moving to Nowata, Oklahoma during his senior year of high school to reunite with the extended Warren and Collins families. He later attended Wichita State and the Oklahoma Military Academy, where he played baseball for a year before choosing to dedicate himself fully to providing for his growing family—a decision that would define much of his life's path.

A man of many passions, Tony embraced life with enthusiasm. Traveling, spending time with his family, fishing, hunting, working, watching sports and long Sunday drives was what Tony most desired. He had a love for flying—once surviving a harrowing engine failure in his Cessna 421 thanks to what he believed was divine intervention prompted by his mother's prayers and a testament to his faith. He was a respected hard working father who put his kids and grandkids above all others. Tony was a mentor to many, coaching little league and spending good amounts of vacation and lake time with kids in the Claremore area.

Tony's legacy is carried forward by his children with: daughter Desiree Warren, her son Joshua Murray; son Tony Warren and wife Janie; their kids Megan, Kavan, Sara and her husband Dakota Green and their children Kennedy, Kade, Collins, and Cal. Tony and Janie's son Alec and wife Cierra and their two kids Brenlee and Atlas. His daughter Janel Whinnery and husband Stan, their daughters Meredith, Josie, and son Greg and his wife Makayla and their kids Cooper and Grayson. And, Janel's step-daughter Kacee Wilson and step-sons Liam and Landon Whinnery.

He is also remembered by his siblings: Larry and wife Debbie; Gary and wife Pat; Rick; and sister Linda and husband Jerry Ewton. His extended family includes numerous nieces and nephews as well as Aunt Betty Collins and the mother of his children Kathy Winn Tatham.

Tony was preceded in death by his beloved parents Pauline Collins Warren and Haskell Clarence Warren; grandmother Velma Collins; Aunt Louise Gardner; Uncle Bill Collins; sister-in-laws Gloria and Phyllis, brother-in-law David Campbell and many other cherished members of a large and close-knit family.

May his memory bring comfort to all those whose lives he touched.

Services will be held in Colorado Springs, Colorado February 28th, 2026 at Memorial Gardens.
