Warren Douglas Brill

The staff at Heishman Funeral Home, inc. send condolences to the family of Warren Douglas Brill. Warren Douglas Brill, of Quicksburg, Virginia, passed away on Friday, December 19, 2025, at age 66 after a long battle with brain cancer. Warren was born on October 30, 1959, in Woodstock, Virginia, to Frances and Kenneth Brill as the youngest of four boys. Known by family and friends as “Doub,” he graduated from Central High School in 1978 and Virginia Tech in 1983, where he studied to become an agricultural educator. He married Donna Jean Weaver on August 21, 1982, at Mt. Zion Lutheran Church and they enjoyed 43 years together. Warren was a high school agriculture teacher for 34 years. He taught at Page County High School for 16 years, beginning in 1983. As his children Kristin and Adam grew older, he switched school divisions to be closer to home and taught at Stonewall Jackson High School for 18 years. He retired from teaching in 2017, but remained as a substitute teacher for the school’s agriculture program. Warren served as FFA advisor and coached track and field, softball, and swimming. He could often be found after school helping students prepare for FFA competitions and assisting with track meets. Warren always sought to make a difference in the lives of his students and was willing to give his time and talents to enrich his students, school, and community. Warren enjoyed a variety of hobbies. In his younger years, he was an avid hunter and fisherman. As his children grew older, he devoted much of his time as a softball and swimming coach. In his retirement, he and Donna spent their free time driving around the Shenandoah Valley playing Pokemon Go. He was a lifelong woodworker, crafting furniture in his shop and turning bowls on his lathe. He and his family enjoyed canning the many fruits and vegetables he grew in their massive garden. He looked forward to spending a week each summer with his family in Chincoteague, Virginia. A devoted husband and father, Warren was hardworking as much as he was humble. He was kind and caring, with a one-of-a-kind personality, and was known to strike up conversations with strangers around them. He was willing to help anyone in need. And he was always up for a good laugh, ready with a witty comeback to any joke. He is survived by wife Donna Jean Brill; two children, Kristin Cornell and husband Ryan of Woodstock, and Adam Brill of New Market; and two grandchildren, Miles and Luca. Also surviving are his three brothers, Wayne Brill and wife Sandy of Woodstock, David Brill and wife Susan of Maurertown, and Danny Brill and wife Jo Ann of Maurertown; his sister-in-law Frances Malone and husband Delbert of Strasburg; three nieces, Lynn Grimes and husband Jack, and their children Josh and Emily, Courtney Brill and her son Allen Brill, and Holly Carper; and six nephews, Mark Brill and Meaghan, Michael Brill and Sam, and children Tucker and Adrianna, Marshall Brill and Casey, Jamie Hullihen and Constance, Chris Hullihen and Rebecca, and Dustin Hullihen and Tamyra. He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. In addition to his parents, Frances and Kenneth Brill, he was preceded in death by a niece, Leigh Singh. The funeral service will be held on Friday, January 2, 2026, at Heishman Funeral Home in Woodstock at 11 a.m. The family will accept visitors at 10 a.m. Burial service will be held at Sunset Memorial Cemetery immediately following the service.
