Warren Charles Bender

Warren Charles Bender, 85, passed away peacefully with his loving family by his side on Monday June 29, 2026, while at his home in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. He was born on September 4, 1940, in Brooklyn, New York to the late Charles & Elvira Sterhoff Bender.

Along with his parents, Warren is reunited in passing with his sister, Carol Grimm, Brother-in-Law, Charlie Grimm, and nephew, Kyle Grimm.

In his free time and above all else, Warren loved being with his family, spending time on the beach and watching his favorite football team play, The New York Giants.
