Warren Howard Haynes McCue

Warren Howard Haynes McCue, 70, of Oakland, Arkansas, passed away on March 23, 2026, at Hospice of the Ozarks in Mountain Home, Arkansas.  He was born on January 10, 1956, in Chicago, Illinois.

Our father lived a life that was as unforgettable as it was meaningful. A man known by many and loved by all. He was the kind of person you always wanted to be around. With a one-of-a-kind personality that was goofy, hilarious, quick-witted and smart.  He could walk into any room and leave it brighter than he found it. 

He grew up in Lake Villa where he was known in his younger years as a bit of a terrorizer. But as he grew older, he became something even more special. A man defined by kindness and generosity. Warren was the type of person who would literally give you the shirt off his back. He was always ready to help and always showed up for others. 

A man with a million one-liners and sayings. He used to always say “life is just heartaches and hard-ons”. It was bold, funny, and unapologetically him. 

He worked harder than anyone we’ve ever known, going nonstop until he physically couldn’t anymore. Whether it was strength, determination, or pure stubbornness, his work ethic was unmatched. 

He was a devoted partner to Kathleen and a loving father leaving behind two sons who carry forward his spirit, humor, astonishingly good looks, and his love for life. 

After a long-fought battle with cancer that he won the first time, he passed away fighting until the very end with the same resilience that defined his life. 

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his laughter, his lessons, his love, and his one-liners will live on forever.

Arrangements are under the care of Diamond State Cremation located in Lead Hill, Arkansas.
