Obituary for Bradley A. Warren

Bradley “Brad” A. Warren, age 46, of Arlington, Ohio, died August 25, 2026, at his residence.

He was born April 24, 1980, on Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany to Mark Warren and Barbara Johnson (Jon) Hansen of Kentucky. Brad was raised by his mother, Barbara and  “Dad” Darryl (Brooke Wise) Dieffenderfer of Tennessee. Brad married Amber K. Lauck on September 14, 2002, and she survives in Arlington along with their two sons, Ethan and Rylan Warren.

Brad is also survived by his grandmother, Barbara Knauff of Kentucky; siblings, Domonic Dieffenderfer, Celia (Jesse) Berrier, Jesi Dieffenderfer, Denise Dieffenderfer, and Antezz Dieffenderfer; and step-siblings, Chris Hansen, Patricia Hansen, Brian Hansen, Jon Hansen, Devin Hansen, Rozie Hansen, and Wyatt Hansen.

Brad graduated from South-Doyle High School in Knoxville, Tennessee, with the class of 1998. He earned an associate degree in electrical engineering from Pellissippi State in Knoxville in 2002 and later received his bachelor’s degree in business management from Mount Vernon Nazarene College in 2007. He worked for Brightspeed as a senior manager.

He was an avid Tennessee Volunteers fan and enjoyed fishing, arcade games, spending time at the beach, and buying and fixing up motorcycles. Brad also had a special place in his heart for his best girl, Macy, his beloved dog. His faith in Jesus was an important part of his life.

Above all, Brad loved spending time with his family. He was incredibly proud of his two boys, Ethan and Rylan, and was affectionately known as the favorite Uncle to many of his nieces and nephews. His love for his family, his sense of fun, and the memories he created with those closest to him will be deeply cherished.
