Denny was born the son of the late Dennis Patrick Warren and Iona O. (Martin)Warren on April 13, 1941 in Canton, New York.  He attended Canton High School where he played football, baseball and hockey.

On June 5, 1965 he married the late Vivian L. “Sonny” Sharpstene in St. Mary’s Church in Canton.  Vivian passed away March 2, 2014.

Denny retired from the Town of Clare as an equipment operator.  Previously he worked for Worth Nash Well-Drilling, Newton Falls Paper Mill and J&L Steel and Barrett’s in Piercefield and Keene areas.  He was also the founding member of The Crotch-Horn Club.

Surviving are his four children: Vince (Deb) Warren of Malone, Norman (Tammy) Warren of Russell, Pat (Erika Rowe) Warren of Russell and Shammie (Tom) Robinson of Russell; eleven grandchildren: Andy (Courtney) Warren, Mickey Warren, Jake (Michelle) Warren, Matt (Megan) Warren, Jeremy (Moriah) Warren, Jared (Anne) Warren, Kiera and Kaylee Fountain, and Mallory Robinson, Caleb Robinson and Kaitlyn Robinson; and nine great-grandchildren: Maelee and Oaklynn Warren, Cecilia Blair and Josephine Warren, Brady and Myles Warren, and Gavin and Geanna Tyo.  He will also be remembered by his brother in-laws ……nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.

Denny was a true man of the woods.  He took great pleasure in hunting, fishing, his Cabin on the Grasse River; riding the “Grey Lady” in his younger days, dancing, PBR, country music and camp fires, horses and his dogs and don’t forget the Cabin Piles.  He was an amazing story teller and was quite generous.  Some of his most often used phrases were: “It only takes one” w the ring-toss game, “It’s not the coughin’ that carries you off…it’s the coffin they carry you off in”, “Don’t go away and leave that runnin’”, “Going to Watertown”,”Ya-Ya”, “Ya But, Do Who” and the infamous “Hey, Hey Hey!” with a swat to the back shortly after.

He will truly be missed.

Lawrence Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Canton has been entrusted with Denny’s care and arrangements.
