Everett & Griffin Warnken

     Everett George and Griffin Lloyd Warnken, identical twin sons of Alan I. and Heather M. (Collins) Warnken, were born and passed away on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at Kearney Regional Medical Center in Kearney, Nebraska.

     Alan and Heather were excited with the news that God had plans to add to their family. An answer to their prayers for children was much anticipated and their families were beyond excited for the boys. The journey with identical twins was rocky, as the boys experienced TTTS – Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome.

     Everett and Griffin were preceded in death by: great-grandparents, George and Frances Jedlicka; Darrell and Twila Collins; Irvin and Lorraine Warnken; and Lloyd and Donna Rae Greening.

     Everett and Griffin are survived by their parents: Alan and Heather Warnken of Bertrand, Nebraska; grandparents: Ronnie and Patricia Collins of Plymouth, Nebraska; and Terry and Marilyn Warnken of Hildreth, Nebraska; Aunts and Uncles: Matthew Collins of New Port Beach, California; Steven and Amber Lesher of Riverside, California; and Derek and Ashley Konert of Hastings, Nebraska; along with cousins: Ava, Audrey, Kyler, Charlotte, and Lillian; along with many great-aunts, great-uncles, and extended relatives, and family.

     A memorial has been established in Everett and Griffin’s honor to the family.
