A proud graduate of South Lake High School’s Class of 1976, he continued his education at Auburn University’s Harbert College of Business, earning an associate’s degree in Business and Commerce.

His adventurous spirit found solace on the water, where he spent countless joyful days boating. His love for nature extended to planting and cultivating beauty wherever he lived, and his compassionate heart always found room for animals.

In a testament to his craftsmanship and faith, Warren Ashton Cressey, II married the love of his life, Christine Herring-Cressey, in the very church he built with his own hands. Their marriage was a union of partnership, laughter, and unwavering devotion. Together, they nurtured a family that will carry forward his love and values.
