Warren Mark Gentry, Jr., a 48-year-old man from Meridian, Mississippi, passed away on Tuesday, May 9, 2017. Born in Pasadena, Texas, he was a graduate of McCullough High School in The Woodlands, Texas. After high school, he played basketball at Wharton Junior College and went on to serve as a veteran in the U.S. Navy.
Remembered as a loving son, husband, father, and grandfather, his death left a void in the lives of his family and friends. He was survived by his wife, three children, and a grandson. Online condolences and memories shared by friends and family paint a picture of a man who was well-regarded and will be deeply missed.
Despite the passage of time, publicly available online sources and news reports do not contain details regarding any arrests, suspects, or the specific circumstances surrounding his death. The investigation into his passing has not been detailed in accessible records, leaving the narrative of that day largely untold to the public. Memorial services were held the following week at a local funeral home chapel, with his burial at Mt. Horeb Baptist Church Cemetery.
