Obituary  :  Warren L. Waite, Jr. made his trip to Heaven on March 7, 2021.

Warren was born in Nashville, TN. to his parents, Warren L. Waite, Sr. and Virginia Allman Waite. In 1953 he married the love of his life, Judy K. Waite.

Warren's career as a pilot began while he was in high school when he rebuilt a plane in his parent's garage and learning to fly by reading a few books. In 1954 he earned his Air Force wings at the age of 20. He joined Delta Airlines in 1957, retiring in 1994.

Warren is pre-deceased by his parents; brother, William; children, Ashley Waite Mullins and Michael King Waite.

He is survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Judy; his son, Warren L. Waite III; daughters-in-law, Melanie Waite and Marianna Waite; nine grandchildren, and nine great grandchildren.

Warren's greatest passions were love of his family as well as hunting, fishing, and flying. Warren's ability to entertain others for hours with his humor, jokes, and stories will not be forgotten by those that knew him.

Visitation will be on Monday, March 15th from 4 to 8 pm at Katy Funeral Home, 23350 Kingsland Blvd., Katy, TX 77494 with services at 10:00 am on Tuesday, March 16th. Burial will follow at Memorial Oaks Cemetery, 13001 Katy Freeway, Houston, TX 77079.

Warren will be greatly missed by his family and all that knew this remarkable man.
