Peter "Pete" Warren, devoted husband and father, passed away early Saturday, April 17, 2021 at his home in Riverview, New Brunswick.
Pete was born in 1950 in Moncton, to parents James and Mary [Mailman] Warren. As a graduate of the NB School of Technology in the field of Electronic Industrial Technology, Pete enjoyed many years exercising his skills for CNCP Telecommunications. Ever resilient, Pete subsequently forayed into real estate, and was the proud owner and operator of a process servicing firm. No stranger to public service, Pete served with distinction as the President and Treasurer of the Riverview Lions Club and was a proud member of the Acacia Lodge.
Always the jokester, Pete could bring laughter to any family gathering. An avid Herman cartoon collector, his ritual was to cut out, clip and adorn the side of the refrigerator with the daily offerings from the T&T. Pete was also the designated adult lifeguard for all the family kids; first one in and the last one out of the water. As a voracious reader, he routinely devoured a dozen novels a week on every topic from history to mystery. Music played a major role in Pete’s life starting with his membership in Moncton’s Maude Burbank Band playing the trombone, trumpet, saxophone, and drums. In later years, he played the drums for various local groups, one being the Inner Groove. The consummate outdoorsman, he enjoyed sharing his passion for cross-country skiing, golfing, hunting, and fishing with family and friends. And, of course, there was never a moment’s hesitation to help a friend in need.
Peter is survived by his wife Debby [Brown]; two children, Cindy [David Cooperman] and Michael; three grandchildren, Jayme Warren [Joe Hicks]; Alexander & Christopher Myint along with his two siblings, Gail Mikkelsen and John Warren [Terri]. He is also survived by several nieces, nephews, cousins, and sister and brother in-laws.
Peter’s family will be receiving friends and relatives on Friday, April 23rd from 6-8 pm. A service to celebrate his life will take place at the funeral home on Saturday, April 24th, at 11:00 am with Rev. Steve Berube presiding.
