Fred Warner Parents
Fred Warner, born on November 19, 1996, in San Marcos, California, is the oldest of three children born to Laura Quiroz Warner and Fred Warner. His multicultural heritage includes Mexican-American roots from his mother’s side and African-American and Panamanian roots from his father’s side.
Fred Warner’s parents separated when he was very young, leaving his mother to raise him and his siblings sister Mya and brother Troy as a single parent. Warner found his passion for football at the age of seven, after trying out various sports. Both he and his mother credit football for providing him with a supportive community during his adolescent years. Despite admiring several players from the San Diego Chargers, Warner, like his father, grew up cheering for the Dallas Cowboys.
