The Hon Edward H. Warren died October 14, 2016 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida of congestive heart failure. He was 80.

Ed Warren was born in Portland Oregon March 2, 1936. He went to Washington High School, Portland State University and Northwestern School of Law. During law school he was hired as a law clerk by then Circuit Judge Robert E. Jones.

His first job after joining the bar was as a law clerk for Judge Charles Redding, who was pro tem on the Oregon Supreme Court. From that experience Warren recognized that legal research and writing were his interests, and he decided to practice appellate law. He practiced with Hershiser, Mitchell and Warren, and later with Acker, Underwood, Beers, Smith and Warren. During that time he served four years on the OSB Board of Bar Examiners and as Chair in 1977.

In 1980 he was appointed to the Oregon Court of Appeals and was subsequently reelected four times. He served as Presiding Judge on one of the court’s three panels for around nine years and retired in 1999 after 19 years.

After retirement he learned to play golf and moved to Fort Lauderdale Florida for the winter and returned to Portland four months each summer. He and his wife, Jeanne traveled often to Europe and several cruises to the Caribbean. He especially enjoyed travelling to Cancun and Puerta Vallarta, Mexico.

He is survived by his wife Jeanne, son, Ed, daughter, Jaimie, stepdaughter, Richelle, and stepson, Rick. He has five grandchildren and two great grand children.

A celebration of life will be held in Portland or Salem in the summer of 2017.
