Lyle Howard Warnke, age 85, passed away on February 3rd, 2023. He was born on January 18th, 1938, in Wolf Point, Montana to Lyle and Bernice Warnke.
He spent his early years in Flaxton, North Dakota growing up on a farm with fond memories of his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, with his sister Pat. Later, Lyle's parents (Lyle Walter Warnke and Marge Warnke) would move the family of Lyle and his sister Pat and brother Don to Portland, Oregon where he would later meet his current wife Pat.
As a 50's kid, Lyle would cruise the Portland boulevards and would go on to own amazing cars which are all considered classics today including his 1955 Ford Crown Victoria, 1957 Chevrolet 210, 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air, and a 1970 Chevelle SS. His love of cars and working on cars was likely a great fit for his 36-year career at Hyster Company as a machinist, starting in 1965 and retiring in 2001.
Lyle had a love of cars, fishing, boating, and the great outdoors for which he shared those experiences with his family and would continue to carry on those traditions.

Lyle is survived by his wife Pat and his two sons Mike and Lyle C.
