NOBLEBORO — Warren Malcolm Little, 56, died Jan. 16, 2015, at Maine Medical Center in Portland. He was born June 30, 1958, in Rockland, to Malcolm and Maxine Achorn Little.

Warren grew up in Nobleboro and graduated from Medomak Valley High School in the Class of 1976. He served with the National Guard Reserve from 1976 to 1986. In his youth, he worked on the family farm and as a mechanic at Sulo's Garage in Nobleboro. He also worked for Reed & Reed Construction before getting a job at Master's Machine as a machinist in Round Pond, where he worked for more than 25 years.

Warren was a fun, loving person who was always ready with a joke. He loved spending time "frog fishing" with his granddaughters and shooting the breeze around the fire with his friends, always keeping the laughter going. He was a "hero" and "best friend" to his sons, they couldn't have asked for a better role model. He was a great handyman who did all of the work on his own home as well as many projects for whoever needed help. He liked working with his hands, building and carving wood into things his wife, Penny, could paint.

His latest passion was growing vegetables and strawberries hydroponically in the greenhouse he built. His colorful comebacks and quick quips could make a stone smile and brightened many people's days. He didn't just care for people, he doted on the dogs he had throughout the years, treating them like family members. It is still unconfirmed if he was the one to set fire to the barn.

He is survived by his wife of 29 years, Penelope Sukeforth Little of Nobleboro; his daughter, Lindsay Morgan Webb and her husband, James, of Waldoboro; his sons, Matthew Robert Little and his significant other, Meridith Hughes, of Nobleboro and Wayne Thomas Little and his fiancé, Ashlyn Finnemore, of Jefferson; his brothers, Wayne Little and his wife, Becky, of Waldoboro, Dr. Bruce Little and his wife, Nancy, of North Carolina and David Little and his wife, Cheryl, of Nobleboro; his sisters, Linda Rogers and her husband, Danville, of Nobleboro and Lorraine Collamore and her husband, Elwood, of Florida; his granddaughters, Chloe and Sophia Harvey of Waldoboro; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

A service to celebrate Warren's life will be held Tuesday, Jan. 20 at 3 p.m. at Lincoln County Assembly of God Church, 672 Main St. in Damariscotta, with the Rev. Tom Wagers officiating. Burial will be in Sukeforth Angel Cemetery in Washington in the spring.
