Warren McEachern - Online Memorial Website

Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die tomorrow.Mahatma Gandhi


This memorial website was created to remember our dearest husband, father, step-dad, pawpaw, and friend Warren McEachern who was born in Memphis,Tennessee and passed away on August 18, 2010 at his home peacefully in Millbrook, AL. You will live forever in our memories and hearts. You influenced each and everyone of us in some form. Although, often quiet and reserved, you were always willing to lend a hand and listening ear. The works you researched on the veterans of our nation will not go unappreciated. They will provide informative answers to those seeking more information on their relatives and heros that served our country. As a husband, you portrayed an old fashioned kind of love for your wife that is so hard to find today. From holding open doors, to helping her clean, to fixing her dinner-you showered her with an uncondtional love and affection that only you could have for her. As a father, you exemplified what the real meaning of 'father' is. To your daughter, Brooke, you always had kind things to say about her and always were concerned of her. To your step-son, Jason, you were the only father figure Jason knows. While you were able, you took Jason fishing and watched him play ball. When you were no longer able and Jason grew, you still showed love through your actions by lending him things, always being the one he called for advice, and telling him stories. When Jason married his wife, me, you accepted me with open arms and always a friendly gesture. I will always remember your kindness to me. To your other step-children, you were always willing to go the extra mile to make them happy or help them. As a pawpaw, you wanted the best things for 'baby Colt'. You wanted to help raise him in a loving, Christian environment and help influence him in a positive setting. Most of all, you both wanted to take him to church with you and teach him about Jesus. To Colton and Brody, you enjoyed watching them play ball and grow up to be handsome young men. Warren had a multitude of friends. He was an easy going, carefree person that could strike up a conversation with anyone, especially if it was about something he enjoyed such as coins, movies, or our country. Warren was 56 years old. He wanted to author a book. Now, he is completing his life story. There are some hero's who make the front page of the news. But more importantly, there is something called 'everyday hero's'. And to me, and his family, and everyone he knew, I believe Warren can be described as an everyday hero. When a loved one moves on to their next phase of this life, eternity, a lesson is always left with those they loved most. I believe something we all can gather from this unexpected circumstance is 'Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die today.'
