Condolence: I recruited Ben and Mike Ware to play softball on the Northside Piano men's team in 1985. I watched them play several games at DuPree Park before approaching them. I was not only impressed with their playing skills, but with their love for their team mates,Love for the competition, Always up beat and smiling, never getting down and most of all, their Leadership ability. What a great start to a wonderful Friendship.

Even though I called them many times over the years to ask them to play Senior Softball, they both had more important things to do. Sharing their Love for God with all that would listen.

Ben's passing leaves a hole in my heart and he will be dearly missed by all that crossed his path.God surely has big plans for him.

May all the Ware Family know that your loss is felt my so many people that loved him too.

Always Loved and never forgotten.

Condolence: I am shocked to hear of this. Ben was a mentor to me, he taught me how to build houses. He took me under his wing and shared his trade and knowledge with me. I owe the majority of that knowledge I have to him. I respected him and enjoyed being around him. I remember being impressed that Ben would still get his hands dirty and strap on a tool belt, and fix anything that needed fixing on his own builds. Ben and I had a serious talk on a job site one day almost 13 years ago. He spoke of Jesus and God, and how he was positive that he would be with them and his earthly father in heaven one day, I know his words came true Monday morning.
Rest Easy Ben, I will always be grateful to you.
Thank You,
Lucas Hall

Condolence: It is a painful thing to lose a precious love one in death. Even Jesus wept when Lazarus died (John 11:35). It pains our loving Heavenly Father, too. He calls death an enemy that will be removed forever (1 Corinthians 15:26; Isaiah 25:8). He promised to awaken our love ones in the memorial tombs from asleep in death__ Isaiah 26:19 “Your dead will rise ...Awake and shout joyfully you residents in the dust! ...the earth will let those powerless in death come to life." What a delight it will be to see them again! Allow these words to keep comforting all of you.

Condolence: You will be SO missed.

A good man is remembered for his deeds.

A great man is remembered for all those he touched.

You, my friend, were both.

Thank you for being my friend.

And, to the entire Ware family-

Thank you all for sharing Ben with the rest of us. He was a man you all could be proud of, and who everyone could always count on.

He will be so missed.
