Clarence R. “Russ” Warner, Jr., 64, of Plymouth passed away on February 5, 2026 at Saint Joseph Health System Plymouth Medical Center. He was born on November 10, 1961 to the late Clarence R. Warner, Sr. and Judy (Dewitt) Warner.

Russ was a faithful man, a multiskilled tradesman and carpenter who founded and owned Reliable Enterprise LLC. His passion for woodwork went deeper than his job. He built many great things for himself and for family. After retirement, he even built his own personal camper to use when the whole family wasn’t going together.

Russ loved more than anything to spend time with his kids and grandkids. The Warner sweet tooth was strong with this one; He loved his crackers with chocolate milk, JR mints, and tootsie rolls. Russ took pride in every vehicle, especially the muscle cars of his younger years, which he kept pristine! He could always be heard laughing at his favorite show, Big Bang Theory. His laugh echoes forever in our hearts.

He is survived by his children: Mindy Jaberg, Michelle Warner, Shane Warner (Casey), Heather Sehstedt (Steven), Samuel Clay Warner (Arryana), and Amber Howard; grandchildren: Lynden Sehstedt, Brooks Sehstedt, and Hexx Harris; and sister Sherri Warner.

Preceded in death by his parents Clarence R. Warner, Sr. and Judy Warner.

Cremation will take place at Indiana Central Crematory, owned and operated by Rans Funeral Homes & Crematory.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Russ on Friday February, 13, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. at the Heartland Church of Winamac, 890 IN-14, Winamac, Indiana, 46996.
