Listen to Obituary

Warren Lee McEuen, of Carrollton, was born on March 26, 1955, son

of Marshall and Sue (Gumm) McEuen. He passed away on February

10, 2022 in Louisville due to complications from cancer with his family

by his side.

After a childhood spent in Arlington Heights, IL, Louisville, and

Birmingham, AL, Warren graduated from Vestavia Hills High School

(Alabama), Western Kentucky University, and the University of

Louisville. On August 13, 1977 he married Susan Tucker at her

family’s home in Lexington, Kentucky. He taught French and Spanish

at Carroll County High School from 1984 to 2012. He was an assistant

football coach, head boys’ golf coach, and coach of middle school

girls’ basketball, as well as faculty chaperone for the Kentucky Youth

Assembly. He also led several student trips to Europe.

A lover of languages, Warren was able to put these skills to good use

during his many international travels and adventures with Susan. He

played golf for many years and was an avid sports fan, working visits

to major league baseball parks into family vacations, supporting UK

basketball as a season ticket holder, and rooting for the Chicago

Bears.

During his retirement Warren rekindled a passion for Vespa motor

scooters and motorcycles, meeting and riding with other Vespa

aficionados from across the U.S. and around the world. He organized

and led excursions through places such as Tuscany, Italy, the

Pyrenees Mountains, and the Greek Isles and enjoyed the friendships

that he made with people from all over.

Warren was kind, sociable, and outgoing and could build an instant

rapport with just about anyone, and he has passed down his unique

sense of humor to his children and grandchildren. He was a devoted

father and grandfather and during the pandemic was able to stay

connected virtually, entertaining his grandchildren with elaborate

stories using Lego characters as props.

Survivors include his wife of 44 years, Susan; two children, Henry

(Katherine Goodwin) McEuen of Chicago, IL, and Mike (Em Comfort)

McEuen of Lexington, KY; brother Marshall (Kathy Scudder) Mac

Euen III of Birmingham, AL; two grandchildren, Walter McEuen and

Gloria McEuen of Chicago; two cousins; and many nieces and

nephews.

Warren was preceded in death by his parents, Marshall McEuen, Jr.

(1995) and Sue McEuen (1996).

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at General Butler State Park Conference Center on March 26, 2022, at 2:00 P.M., which would have been Warren's 67th Birthday. After the Celebration of Life Service everyone is encouraged to stay for refreshments and visit at the Conference Center.

Arrangements have been entrusted with the Tandy-Eckler-Riley Funeral Home.
