Donald J. Warren 45, formerly of Waverly, died unexpectedly Sunday (6/28/09) in Des Moines, Iowa. Don was born Nov. 26, 1963 in Russellville, Ark. Don graduated from Leavenworth High School in 1982. Don worked for the State of Nebraska Department of Corrections for 19 years. His life was filled with spending time with his children, family, neighbors and friends. Don loved hunting, fishing, golfing, or just a good game of cards. He was a friend and mentor to many and enriched all who knew him with his sense of humor and his endless ability to lend a hand when help was needed. He was known to thousands as the chief barker at Deb's hot dog & burger stand at UNL football games, where he coined the phrase: "Hot dogs, polish, brrrrrrats, Husker burgers. Step right up". He will be missed, but never forgotten, by those who knew and loved him. Member of Waverly United Methodist Church, he worked with youth groups, and was active in community service.
