Warren John Templeton

Warren Templeton, 82, of Henderson, Texas, passed away peacefully at his home on August 14, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Born in Yonkers, New York, on December 10, 1942, Warren lived a life marked by dedication, service, and deep devotion to his family. 

Warren proudly served in the United States Navy following his graduation from Millersburg Military Institute in 1960. He went on to build a successful 34-year career in procurement with IBM, beginning at the Lexington plant and later transferring to help open the Austin facility in 1967. 

Outside of work, Warren found joy in the outdoors. He loved hunting, fishing, and camping, and he cherished every moment spent with those he loved most. His legacy is one of quiet strength, loyalty, and steadfast love for his family. 

He is survived by his beloved wife of 61 years, Janie Templeton; his daughter, Denisa Page, and her husband, Kevin; his son, Bart Templeton; his grandchildren, Ashley Lovejoy, Kirsten Templeton, Courtney Templeton, and Mady Chavez and her husband, Jesse; and his great-grandchildren, Kiley and Jeramy Lovejoy.
