He was very thoughtful. He was trying to find a way to really make things better; you could tell that was really engrained in his personality. He wanted to contribute in some way. When he joined the Army, it gave him a real vision forward.
— Mark Rehling, former football coach
Warren was killed when a roadside bomb hit his military vehicle in Tsagay, Afghanistan, according to military officials. His hometown was listed by the military as Manchester, N.H. but he grew up in Huntington Beach, where he attended high school. Family members said he moved to New Hampshire with his mother after graduation. His father, Del Warren, lives in Long Beach. Warren joined the elite Special Forces as a medic, with plans to become a firefighter-paramedic or physician's assistant when he left the service.

15 memories of Kyle R. Warren
My nephew Kyle was a great son, husband, nephew, cousin and friend. One memory I have of Kyle is when he came back from his first year at Northern Arizona University. He brought back a years worth of laundry and asked me to wash them for him. I pointed to the washer and said "Have at it". Next thing I know the clothes are gone. I asked him when he came back where they were, he said with a huge grin on his face "Aunt Kathy is washing them" ! Boy that kid could charm anyone.
To the Valenzuela/Cowden family
My deepest sympathy for the passing of Kyle. I know you all loved him greatly and what a wonderful man to put his life on the line for all of us. He's a hero and I know you are proud. We are all proud. My heartfelt sympathies to his wife and mother and all that knew this young man.
My family wishes to offer our deepest sympathies for the loss of Kyle to his family and friends. His service in the military and to our country shows the depth of character that Kyle had as a man.
Although I didn't have the pleasure of knowing you, the fact that I knew the Valenzuela family from many years ago tells me what type of man you were. Thank you for your service and protection. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Sandra and family, we are your extended family "The Holbrook's". Our Jason was with Kyle on July 29th. These two fine men were together when their lives ended. We, like you had Jason's services today Aug 7th at 10:00 at the Burnet Baptist Church with burial at our family cemetery. Our family wanted you to know that we have been thinking of you each day and that our hearts are filled with great pain at the loss of two wonderful and caring young men. May God's grace and mercy be with you each day and may you be comforted in knowing that their sacrifices will NEVER end. Our family is holding our arms open wide just as wide as the great state of Texas. Please feel free to contact us at any time. Either to share our story together or just to listen, we are good listeners too.
All our Love and Prayers,
Stoney (Jason's brother) & Diane
Elaine & James Holbrook - Jason's parents.
Del and Family,
Please accept my deepest condolences. I am at a lost for words and cannot begin to imagine what you must be going through.
Kyle was a wonderful person, American patriot and I am a better person to have been privileged to know and work with him. He will always be remembered.
Friendship always,
Coach David Vargas
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your son, Kyle. He is a true American Hero, and will always be in our hearts and prayers. We are so thankful that we have such fine young, brave men willing to step up to the fight for our country's freedom. He was the tip of the sword- a Green Beret.
Sincerely, an Orange County SF mom
To: Kyle's family and friends:
Please except my condolence. There will come a time when Almighty God Jehovah will make all wars to cease. He made that promise at Psalms 46:9. And at Revelations 21:4 He promised death will be no more. What a wonderful hope! May the Grand Creator of all things, Jehovah God be with you.
I would like you to know what a wonderful young man I thought your son was...He was my son's friend from NAU.. Skyler King... they played together on the Landsharks Ruby League...He spent many a night at our home and I wanted you to know he is a young man that will always remain in my heart....I still have a thank you letter he wrote me...which I have always treasured...and even more so at this sad time...YOU RAISED A WONDERFUL SON.. God Bless you Kyle...
It has been a few months now since Kyle was taken too soon. With the Holidays fast approaching the pain I know will deepen even more for his Wife,Parents,Aunts and Uncles and his Cousins and the many friends he left behind. There is not a day that goes by that he is not thought of and remembered as a hero. May god watch over all the Men & Women who are fighting the fight. To the other families out there who have lost there loved one, may you find some peace during this holiday season and happiness with your memories to get you through.
Some people forget that there is a war happening whether they like it or not. They forget the heroes that die for them and the ones who continue to fight.
I would like to thank all the military men and women who serve our great nation. I also want to thank their families who also bear a huge sacrifice.
I miss my husband everyday and wish I could hold him again in my arms. I love you Kyle and I will never forget what you did for me and for our country!
I had the honor of having Kyle as a close friend during our two years in the Q-course. He was an exceptional person, physically large and intimidating, yet even tempered and full of good humour. I will always remember the time he and my roomate became engaged in a prank war. He came over to my apartment, and removed all of my roomate's (Adam Helm) possesions, leaving his room completely bare. Kyle had such a memorable sense of humour. He is truly missed.
Kyle attended Marina and was in sports with my son, Mike. I know he is continues to be deeply missed by his family and friends. As we spend time with our families and friends, enjoying the traditional Memorial Day BBQ's, may we all remember those who lost their lives at war, and those who are still fighting for our freedom. "All gave some, some gave all." God bless each one of you.
I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Memorial ceremonies for the Gold Star families at Fort Bragg during Memorial week. Kyle's name is permanently etched in stone, brass and granite all over Fort Bragg and the Special Forces Museum in Fayetteville, NC. I cannot say enough about the wonderful, caring and dedicated men I met from my nephew Kyle's unit. They loved him as much as we did. We got to see where he worked and prepared for his service in Afghanistan. We met their families and our family is now larger since we have now adopted everyone of these wonderful people. We also got to meet the Holbrook family who's son Jason was killed with Kyle on that horrible day. They too are now a part of our family. As awful as losing Kyle is, it is very apparent that he is loved and missed by so many people. Let us not forget that this war is not over and the mission must go on to completion. God Bless everyone who has someone in the military and pray that an end will come soon to this war.
good for him 4 bein' a soldier god bless his family SORRY for your loss
:( God bless a soldiers for our freedom
