Corporal with The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada based in Montreal, QC. Aged 29. Survived by his parents Gerald and Deborah (née Gagnon), sister Rachelle, brother Stephen and grandfather DJ Gagnon. His grandfather, a Second World War vet, was an Air Force brigadier-general and his sister is a corporal who has served two tours in Afghanistan.
He and Cpl Francisco Gomez were killed, and eight other soldiers injured, in a suicide vehicle attack on their combat service support convoy that occurred on Highway One (known as "ambush alley") about five kilometres west of Kandahar City, Afghanistan.
Cpl Warren grew up in Quebec City and moved to Montreal at age 18. Trained earlier as a graphic artist, he joined the famous Black Watch reserve regiment and also served with the Royal 22nd Regiment in Bosnia in 2002. His six-month deployment was slated to end in August but he became the first member of the Black Watch Regiment to die in action since 1970.
Funeral was held on August 2, 2006 at the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul, the Black Watch chapel, in Montreal.
