Warren Franklin

Our beloved husband, father, son, brother, grandfather and friend, Warren Franklin, 65, of Houston, TX transitioned to be with the Lord on August 31, 2025. He will be lovingly remembered by his faithful wife of 42 years, Gloria Franklin; children: Warren (Priscilla) Davis, Eric Franklin, Jessica (Jovon) Martin; grandchildren: Eric Franklin, Jamiya Martin, Jadeyn Martin, Jireh Martin; mother, Lucille Neal; brothers: Jonathan Franklin, Walter Franklin, Bobby (Nicole) Franklin and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins who love him dearly. He was predeceased by his father, Walter Franklin.

Warren was born in Pineville, Louisiana and lived in Ennis, Louisiana until he moved to Houston, Texas as a child. He had a passion for nature and music. He was a proud graduate of Forest Brook High School where he was a member and recorded an album with their award-winning stage band. He was a faithful member of Houston Greater Hope Missionary Baptist Church and, later, Living Word Fellowship Church where he loved to sing in the choir and served faithfully as an usher. He diligently worked at Hubbard and Son for 15 years and Walmart as an associate for 20 years before finally entering into retirement.

Warren loved his wife and family. He loved God and his church. He had a heart that allowed him to give generously and serve the people around him. Any time spent with Warren was always filled with love, laughs and a good time.

Words cannot express how deeply we will miss Warren, but we are comforted in knowing that he is present with the Lord.
