Tay'Andre K. Warren

Tay’Andre Kasiem Lynnell Warren 17, jokingly known as “Fatty” within the family and close friends entered eternal rest on Saturday, November 26, 2022.  He was born Tuesday, July 26, 2005, oldest son of Frederick “Ricky” Guider and Lakisha “Kisha” Warren.  

Born and raised in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Tay’Andre loved his city. He received his education in the Harrisburg City Schools. Fatty was a sophomore/junior attending John Harris High School and had set a goal to focus on his education in order to get back to the 11th grade.  In 2019, he attended Barbering school in Harrisburg, but he quickly realized it was not his niche.  Fatty then went on to work part-time at McDonald’s in the Uptown Plaza.

Fatty loved to eat, hence his nickname.  If there wasn’t anything in the house to eat, he would somehow make something out of nothing in a heartbeat.  Fatty deeply loved his family and friends and had a way of making you smile or laugh. He also had a way with the ladies, and he would often hear, “He is his daddy’s child”. Fatty enjoyed looking nice and when the opportunity called for dressing up, he wouldn’t disappoint.  His favorite NFL team was the New York Giants and enjoyed talking smack with his Pop-Pop, Keith (DiTeasha)Warren, family and friends, he even played on the Youth Harrisburg Broncos football team. His usual hobbies included hanging out with his friends, playing on the game console, and talking smack amongst his little cousins, James “Jaki” Evans and Kanaje Brickus. Tay’Andre loved riding dirt bikes, as he had a thing for adrenaline. He went into eternal life immediately after doing something he loved to do, it was as if he was riding off into the sunset. 

Tay’Andre is preceded in death by both his maternal great-grandmothers, Clara Warren and Ruth Watts, maternal great-grandfather, Earl Mitchell, paternal great-grandparents, Frederick and Sarah Guider, and uncle, Kenyatta (Yottie) Guider.

Along with his parents, Fatty’s memories live on through his only living great grandparent, Billy Watts, his maternal grandparents; Keith (DiTeasha) Warren and Lisa Watts. His paternal grandmother, Sarah Guider-Robinson, his 7 siblings; three sisters, his oldest being Ta’Jalae Warren, Ta’Jalea Guider and Ahmya Guider-Pitts. He also has 4 little brothers; Tay’Drian, Major, Renzel and My’ King Guider, one nephew, Zayden Warren, four god-brothers; Kwashawn, Nasjaquan, Nasheim Brooks and Cartel Johnson as well as a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, relatives, and friends.
