Gregory Edward Warren

Gregory Edward Warren passed away on July 19, 2014, following a courageous battle against pancreatic cancer. Greg was born on October 17, 1958 in Raleigh. He graduated from Needham Broughton High School and attended Atlantic Christian (Barton) College and NC State University exploring both his love of music and flowers. He turned his passion for flowers into a successful business recognized by the satisfaction of many clients as well as his peers who awarded him the Designer of the Year in 1991.

Greg was preceded in death by his father Wiley A. Warren, Jr. He is survived by his mother, Della Brady Warren, brothers Jeff Warren and wife Kennetha, Mike Warren and wife Heather, nieces Landon and Lindsay, and nephews Michael, Clark, and Wade, all of Raleigh. He is also survived by his Uncle James Edward Warren of Southern Shores, NC, his 5 adoring dogs he referred to as "the kids," and countless wonderful friends who have been so supportive of him and his family these past few years.
