Lesa Henry (Kevin) and Patrick Warren. 
Son of the late Agnes Stanley Warren and Francis Junius Warren. Grandfather of 
Celia and Tyler Justo, Leah and Emily Bartholomew, Morgan and Connor Henry, and 
Eric Warren, Michelle, Kyle, Katelynn and Gabriela. Brother of Stanley Warren 
(Belle), Anne Montgomery (Levere, Jr.), Warren Guy Warren (Joan), Fritz Warren 
(Jacque), Vincent Warren, Denis Warren and the late Francis Warren, Clytie 
Watson, Esther Drury, John Warren, Margaret Sullivan and Barbara McGahee.

Jerry was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. After graduating from 
Bishop Kenny High School in 1954, he left Florida to attend U.S. Merchant 
Marine Academy in Great Neck, New York. As a cadet in the academy, Jerry 
traveled to South Africa, French Morocco, Spain, Costa Rica, and Panama. 
He graduated with a B.S. in Marine Engineering in 1958. Jerry then served 2 
years active duty in the U.S. Navy as a Lieutenant Junior Grade aboard the 
destroyer U.S.S. C.K. Bronson (DD-668). He was honorably discharged from the 
Navy in 1960 and began his career with Lykes Bros. Steamship Co. in New 
Orleans, Louisiana.

In 1964 he married the love of his life, Yvonne (Evie) Broussard. Jerry and 
Evie moved to Puerto Rico with their 3 small children to begin his career with 
ICEE where he successfully expanded the business to the Caribbean. Jerry and 
Evie also expanded their family to six children. During his career with ICEE 
Jerry was General Manager in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, then promoted to President 
in 1983 at which time he moved his family to Mandeville, Louisiana where he has 
since resided.

Later in life Jerry opened one Rapid Oil Change in Metairie, Louisiana which 
ultimately evolved into 29 Take 5 Oil Change locations across the country. The 
business was sold and Jerry and Evie retired to enjoy their golden years 
together traveling the world.

Jerry will be remembered fondly by all who knew him as an adoring husband and 
family man, fisherman and sailor, fixer of all things mechanical, but most of 
all a fun person to be around.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Funeral Mass at Mary Queen of 
Peace Catholic Church, 1501 W. Causeway Approach, Mandeville, LA 70471 on 
Saturday, January 24, 2015 at 12:00 noon with visitation at church on Saturday

In lieu of flowers, the family requests Masses and prayers in memory of Mr. 
Warren.
