Mark Dwayne Warren, 60, of Ottawa, passed away on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria, Illinois.

Born on October 3, 1965, in Kankakee, Illinois, to Lyle J. and Thelma Mae (Henson) Warren, Mark married the love of his life, Felicia Jackson, on May 10, 2006. He found simple joy in playing golf on the computer each day and fishing wherever there was water. A patient and devoted man, he cared deeply for his wife, children, and friends. Known for his great sense of humor, he often reminded those around him that laughter is good for the soul. Mark worked as a truck driver for Garcoa Distribution Center in Ottawa, where he formed lifelong friendships and was beloved by all. He was also an active member of Praise Center Assembly of God Church, particularly in the men’s group.

He is survived by his wife, Felicia Warren; his children, Steven, Samantha, Anthony, Alphonsa, James, Joe, and Jeffrey; his siblings, Tina (Mike) Foster, Pam (Ron) Scott, and Monica (Rod) Merrick; his sisters-in-law, Francis (Warren) Jackson and Teresa (David) Scott; his brothers-in-law, Ernest (Tracy) Banks and Hollis (Jakeisha) Jackson; as well as numerous grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Lyle and Thelma Warren, and his siblings, Donna and Dean Warren.
