Warren was also the proud great-grandfather of two boys: Jaxson Joseph Breaux and Ethan Joseph Dalmado. He was the loving older brother of Dorothy Breaux Sutton and the late Joyce Breaux Avallone. He graduated from Holy Name of Mary Elementary School and Warren Easton High School. He attended Tulane University, where his lifelong love for the Green Wave was nurtured. Warren served in the United States Navy during World War II from August 3, 1943 until April 15, 1946. During that time, he served as a hospital corpsman on the USS Cogswell DD 651. He remained in the United States Naval Reserves from March 17, 1947 until March 16, 1955. During that period, he was called back to active duty for the Korean Conflict from August 9, 1950 through November 5, 1951, when he served on the USS Consolation AH-15. Warren worked as an accountant and was retired from Baker Hughes, and he later enjoyed working as a realtor. For many years, Warren was an active member of St. Andrew the Apostle Church, and he proudly served as a Fourth Degree Knight in the Knights of Columbus. He was an avid fan of professional, amateur, and prep sports in New Orleans. The family is grateful to the doctors and nurses of West Jefferson Medical Center, who provided tender care and comfort to Warren and his family. In place of flowers, Masses are preferred.
