Oliver Lee Haines
Aug 27, 2026 — Aug 27, 2026
White House, TN

Before he was ever born, Oliver Haines was already deeply loved. His story began within a family whose own love story started eleven years ago, when his parents met in an unexpected place—a haunted house. From there, grew a life together filled with love, laughter, and dreams of the family they would one day share.

When they learned they were expecting their son, those dreams grew even bigger. As the first boy in the family, Oliver was eagerly awaited by his two big sisters, who were so excited to welcome their baby brother. They imagined the laughter, mischief, and memories that would come along with having a little brother to love and watch grow.

His parents had already begun dreaming of the life he would have. They pictured his first smile, his first steps, his first words, and all the milestones that would fill his childhood. They imagined watching him discover who he was and encouraging him as he found his own passions and dreams.

His father especially looked forward to the day he could share some of his own passions with his son—to teach him to shoot, to ride motorcycles together, and to share those simple adventures that fathers and son’s treasure. He dreamed of the conversations they would have, the lessons he would teach him, and the memories they would make side by side. His mother dreamed of all the tender moments in between—the hugs, the laughter, the celebrations, and simply watching her little boy grow into the man he was meant to become.

Though Oliver never had the chance to experience the life his family had so lovingly imagined for him, those dreams are a testament to just how deeply he was loved. His sisters will always remember the little brother they were so excited to meet, and his parents will forever hold the dreams they had for their son close to their hearts.

Some lives are measured in years, while others are measured in the love they leave behind. Oliver was here for only a brief moment, but he was loved for a lifetime. His tiny life changed his family forever, leaving behind a love that time cannot diminish and a place in their hearts that will always belong to him.

He will always be the little boy his mother was waiting for, the son his father dreamed of riding alongside, the baby brother his sisters couldn’t wait to meet, and the precious child whose life, though far too short, will never be forgotten.

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever their little boy.

Oliver Lee Haines is preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Jill Spalding. He is survived by his parents Ron and Jade Haines, sisters Lilly Haines and Ellie Haines. His is also survived by his maternal grandfather Jimmy Allen, paternal grandmother Lisa (Richard) Hart, and paternal grandfather Ronald Haines Sr. and his partner Cindy Lubahn, uncle Blaze (Tabitha) Brewington, aunt Charlene (Andrew) Glenndenning, and cousins Israel Brewington, Leann Glenndenning, Alexis Glendenning, and Robert Glendenning.

“Scooter” William Horace Warrick Sr.
November 11, 1950 – September 6, 2026

"Scooter" William Horace Warrick Sr.“Scooter” William Horace Warrick, Sr. passed away at home in Greenbrier the morning of September 6, 2026. A Memorial Service will be held Thursday, September 10th in the Chapel of Austin & Bell Funeral Home in Greenbrier with Chaplain Jessica Crenshaw officiating. The family will receive friends on Wednesday, September 9th from 3pm to 6pm and again on Thursday, September 10th from 10am until time of service at 12pm.

He was born November 11, 1950, to the late Henry C. Delk and Gladys Warrick in Nashville, Tn. He immediately earned his nickname “Scooter” upon entering this world from his father who said, “He scooted right out across the bathroom floor!” Scooter loved being a part of a huge family; always wanted to be around people and never came across a stranger. He dropped out of school early to join the military during the Vietnam War in hopes that it would keep his other brothers safe from the draft. He served almost two years “in country”, between Vietnam and Okinawa. He earned a Purple Heart for his service, among several other metals, and like so many other veterans of his era, he too was exposed to Agent Orange which later caused several health issues.

After his time in war, he came home to his wife, continued to serve six more years in the Army Reserves, had their first son, “Bill” William Warrick, Jr., and worked hard to support his family, often having multiple jobs at once. His most memorable jobs included working at Nashville’s Farmer’s Market, Kroger’s, cross country driving semi-trucks, and most recently at Lowe’s Millwork in White House, Tn, where he retired in 2009.

Fifteen years after having Bill, Scooter and Mary Frances adopted their second son Thomas Warrick. Thomas was placed in their home through the foster program at the early age of 3 months old; due to the circumstances surrounding Thomas’s early life it became evident to Scooter, Mary, and Bill that Thomas belonged in their home for good. Over the course of their time as foster parents, Scooter and Mary opened their home up to approximately three dozen foster children.

He is survived by his son, Thomas (Jessica) Warrick; grandchildren, Nathan Warrick, Amanda (Tony) Lavelle, Jasmine (Paul) Warrick, Dalton (Bailey) Warrick, Isabella Warrick, Elena Warrick and David Warrick; great-grandchildren, Michael and Leo Lavelle, and Octavia and Chadwick Warrick; siblings, Jerry Warrick, Pam Elliott, Patsy (Jimmy) Watkins, Junior (Donna) Warrick, Ray (Maria) Warrick, Rosie (Babe) Donelson, Betty Jean (Terry) Bolton, Johnny Warrick, Dot (Tony) Baxter, and Cathy (Donnie) Wauford.

He is preceded in death by his wife of 53 years, Mary Frances Warrick; both parents; son, William Warrick, Jr.; sister, Gladys Ann Sipsy and brothers, Roger Dale Warrick and James Lee Warrick. Online condolences may be made at www.austinandbell.com

He is survived by his sons, Michael (Paula) Murray of Kingston and David (Dana) Murray of Joelton; his daughter, Carol (Jim) Dearman of Madison, AL; eight grandchildren; eleven great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; and a host of extended family members.

Mr. Murray was born in Nashville on July 9, 1933, and lived most of his life in the area. He graduated from Litton High School in 1952 and went on to serve his country for three years in the United States Marine Corps, including fifteen months in Japan. Following his military service, he graduated from the Vanderbilt College of Engineering in 1960.

He retired from Nashville Electric Service after thirty years, including being the manager of the Civil Engineering Department. He later worked for nine years in engineering and construction for the State of Tennessee. In addition, he owned and operated his own civil engineering and land surveying company and was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

After retirement, Mr. Murray volunteered with the American Red Cross for seven years, traveling across the state to assist with blood drives—often bringing his grandchildren along on “blood runs.” He also enjoyed investing and was instrumental in starting a stock club during his time at Nashville Electric Service.

A faithful servant, Bob remained deeply involved in church life. He served as a deacon for fifty years at Lischey Avenue, Madison, and Goodlettsville Churches of Christ. He chaired the building committee at Madison Church of Christ, led the visitation program at Goodlettsville Church of Christ, was an inaugural member of the Finance Committee that started Goodpasture Christian School, as well as the committee that built Valley View Christian Camp, and participated in numerous other works. He also delivered Meals on Wheels through Madison Church of Christ from his retirement until the age of 92.

At age 80, Bob demonstrated great perseverance by overcoming throat cancer through extensive chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

He enjoyed tinkering in his garage, often fixing things with duct tape, and loved traveling with his wife. Together, they visited 46 states, including Hawaii and Alaska, traveled to 18 foreign countries, and enjoyed many ocean cruises. As a big Vanderbilt fan, he also traveled to every SEC stadium cheering on the Commodores.

After Sadie’s passing in 2009, Bob spent many joyful years with his friend and companion, Carolyn Mitchell. Together they hosted dinners, birthday celebrations, and game nights. She brought much laughter to his life, and he loved her granddaughters as his own.

Bob will be remembered for his faithful service to Christ, his love for his family, his engineering mind, and his memorable sense of humor.

The family requests, if so desired, that memorial contributions be made to Nashville Rescue Mission or Churches of Christ Disaster Relief. Donations may be sent in care of Robertson County Funeral Home.

The family would also like to thank Alive Hospice for their wonderful care and Sharon Fleming, his special neighbor.
