John Lyndol Warren, Jr.'s Obituary
John L. Warren, Jr., passed away peacefully in the company of family on March 4, 2026, at the age of 80, in his hometown of Miami, Florida.
John was born on July 15, 1945, in Santa Cruz, California, to Esther M. Warren and John L. Warren, Sr. The young family moved to Miami shortly after the end of World War II. He graduated from Coral Gables Senior High School (Class of ’63) and later attended Florida State University and the University of Florida, where he studied engineering until being hired as a pilot by Eastern Air Lines around 1967.
Having grown up in Miami, John developed a lifelong love of the outdoors. He was an avid and accomplished hunter and fisherman, equally at home offshore or deep in the Florida woods. He played catcher at Florida State University and later carried that competitive spirit into a solid golf game—one he enjoyed with a classic love-hate relationship.
Later in life, John founded his general contracting company, Lyndol Development, in Orlando, Florida, where he lived for most of his life, caring for his family and practicing his Christian faith. An accomplished engineer, he had a natural ability to design, build, or fix just about anything. He worked for years in custom residential and commercial construction. He was known for cutting through unnecessary complexity and delivering practical, high-value results for his clients.
He is survived by his two sons, Brant, his wife Aracely, and his much-loved granddaughter, Amelia of La Paz, Mexico, and Daniel of Raleigh, North Carolina. He is also survived by his brother, Thomas, and his sister, Sandra Adams, along with six nieces and nephews.
A celebration of life will be held on May 2, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Inspiration Center at Pinecrest Gardens, 11000 Red Road, Pinecrest, Florida. Food and refreshments will be served.
Family and friends are encouraged to bring photos or memorabilia and share stories in remembrance of John.
