Born August 25, 1968 to William and Janet Warren in Cedar Rapids, IA, he was 51 years old. Bill graduated from Tipton High School in 1986. He served in the United States Air Force for eight years as a Military Police Officer stationed at Rammstein and he was an ardent patriot.

He met the love of his life Heather Lynn Bray at an establishment in Anamosa where she was singing karaoke. He quickly made a habit of following her around to listen to her sweet voice, and they were married at sunset on March 4, 2006 in Clearwater, Florida on Sand Key Beach.

Daughter and light of his life, his 'Beaner' and forever his little girl, Lilliana Mae was born March 29, 2007. Lilli and Bill enjoyed making Pecan Waffles together (Grandma Monks recipe,) going to the book store, trips to 'Starchucks' and dancing. He always said she was the best dancer he ever saw. They dreamed together and he was the best Daddy a girl could have.  He loved her with all he was.

Bill was always willing to help even if he was down, he'd give a guy the shirt off his back if it would help someone. Bill worked at The Anamosa State Penitentiary for 14 years, and then Cedar Rapids Paper Mill for 10 years, until his cancer diagnosis last December.

Bill enjoyed traveling to Phoenix and Sedona AZ, The Chicago Cubs and Iowa Hawkeyes HAWKEYES. He spent his lifetime in search of the perfect fun car and finally found it. He got to drive it one time a week ago, and beamed with pride the whole way home. He couldn't wait to drive it in the spring.

He is survived by his beloved wife Heather and daughter Lilli in Anamosa, a son Axel in Europe, parents William and Janet Warren, Sister Cindy (John) Pelzer (Scott, Matt and Trent). Parents-in-law Robyn (Keith) Monk of Deltona, FL, Brothers-in-law Mathew Monk of Buckeye, AZ and Michael Monk of Hubert, North Carolina and Justin Monk of Cedar Rapids, IA and Derek Monk of Chicago, IL.

He was preceded in death by Grandparents Herbert and Anna Braasch. Grandparents Everett and Belle Warren. Aunt Jacky Warren Wilson. Aunt Mary Braasch Peterzalek. Uncle Herbert F Braasch. Uncle Robert Braasch. Great Aunt Bette Warren Petersen.
