More on 49ers’ Fred Warner’s father and mother

Only less is known about the San Francisco star’s father, Fred Warner Sr. He is an African-American of Panamanian descent. Warner Sr. and Laura Warner ended their relationship when Warner Jr. was still a toddler. However, the 27-year-old said in an interview that he and his father stay in touch to this day. “He is very supportive, from when we were little even to this day,” Warner said. “It’s just that he wasn’t present because of the dynamic between him and my mom.

Hence, Laura had to painstakingly bring up the future NFL icon and his brother Troy Warner and sister Mya Warner. Laura Warner worked as a secretary at a law office. “My mom had such a huge task of raising not only me but my two younger siblings. We watched her wake up, drive an hour to work, and stay late to provide for us,” Fred Warner said about his mother, Laura. She is of Mexican descent and her roots have a profound influence on Fred Warner and his actions.

Fred Warner always takes pride in his mother’s roots

Thanks to her mother’s Mexican and father’s Panamanian roots, Fred Warner has emerged as one of the biggest spokespersons for the Latino community in San Francisco. Besides, NFL fans have become habitual to seeing Warner carry a Mexican flag to the field when he heads out for action. In an interview, he once explained why he does so. “Unfortunately, my mom’s Mexican father died when she was still a small child. However, that Mexican part of my family has always been active in my life. In my home, Spanish was always spoken. So, yes, it has played a role in my life,” said Warner.
