Thomas (Tj) Allen Warren Jr

TJ was born on August 9, 1987, to Latasha Blair and Thomas Warren in Glendora Hospital, Glendora, CA.

Shortly after TJ graduated from Centennial High School in 2005 he started his profession, kickstarting a 10 year career in Heating and Air.

In 2005, TJ met Yelaine Warren, after dating for 10 years, the high school sweethearts married in 2015 and had a son, Allen Warren whom TJ adored.

Tj was loved deeply by his loving mom and dad, two older sisters Thomesha and April, and his little brother Lonnel. He was the jokester of the 4 siblings, and will always be remembered for his big smile, and dimples.

If you knew TJ then you knew his love and passion for basketball and his favorite team, The Lakers. Specifically, his favorite player and one of the people in his shortlist he admired most, Kobe Bryant. More than being a “fan” of the game Bryant played, TJ admired Kobe’s drive, determination, and resiliency. The “Mamba Mentality” Kobe honed, was the core of who TJ was put into words. TJ did everything with a constant quest to “try to be better today than yesterday, and better tomorrow than he was the day before”. TJ was someone who took pride in all he did, and he flawlessly executed any task he was given with exceeding expectations.

He was a family man through and through, his love for his son and wife was immeasurable.

His love of nature, which his mother Latasha instilled at an early age, carried through into adulthood. TJ loved the outdoors, visiting scenic landscapes, and gardening. His “green thumb” was truly a gift. Plants, flowers, vegetables, fruit, and everything in between, whatever TJ put his hands on would grow plentiful;

His other hobbies included Drawing, painting, carpentry, and he was certified in piloting drones.

TJ had an incredible gift of making anyone he talked to feel like the most important person to him. There aren’t enough adjectives to describe the man he was Intelligent, kind, loving, dependable, talented, loyal, funny, charismatic, noble, and above all, genuine and unapologetically authentically him. He always remained true to himself. He left this world too soon for us that remain behind, and his void is one that no one will be able to fill.

He is survived by his wife Yelaine Warren, his son Allen Warren, his parents Latasha Blair and Thomas Warren, his sisters Thomesha Warren and April Cash, and his brother Lonnel McIntyre.
