Paul R. Ware

I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER PAUL IN SCHOOL AS A KIND HEARTED PERSON.HE WILL BE SORELY MISSED. GOD BLESS. RIP PAUL.

I first met Paul in high school and even though we ran with different circles of friends. When our paths did cross he treated me as though we were life long best friends. Then running into him now and again throughout the years since graduation he was always so positive and interested in how I was doing. Paul was truely a special kinda guy who touched the lives of many and will be truely missed. My prayers go out to all of his family and friends. RIP buddy!

Paul was so special to all of us who grew up with him. Always funny, always kind, not perfect, just right. The last time I saw him, Paul was walking down Crystal Beach and he was grinning from ear to ear. Thanks for the hug that day, Paul. I hope that every day in Heaven is like a bright, shiny summer day at the beach for you.

thanks for being my friend and listening to my problems without judging. you will be missed by many and will join many of our friends who have gone before you. I know that you will be looking over us and guiding us thru our lives, until we meet again, god bless you my friend.

Gonna miss my "beach buddy". I'll always remember that time I ran into you and my brother on a beach in Florida-talk about a chance encounter! It's hard to believe you're gone. Just the other day we were talking about the beach. Love you and miss you.

Paul you will be missed my friend. RIP

Rest peacefully, my friend.

It seems like I've always known Paul. From growing up in Nederland, to both being Lumberjacks at SFA, it seems we were always connected in some way. My heart aches for Paul and all that he was battling. Through it all, he was such an inspiration to many, and he made sure everyone knew of God's love and plan for us. Paul is most assuredly walking with Jesus in glory, now. My continued prayers for comfort and peace for the Ware family during this very difficult time.

Blessings,

Mrs. Ware and your family, I'm so, so sorry for your loss. Thinking back the last few days the memory that stands out in my mind is how Paul and I first became friends. I believe it was third grade and every day as we lined up to leave at the end of the day he would "frog"/punch me in the shoulder which frankly aggravated the heck out of me. Then after about the 5th day of this when he punched me I hauled off and hit him smack in the face. I still remember the shocked look in his eye and how he chased me down the hall of Highland Park Elementary. He got caught running by a teacher and I got away. LOL. After that day we were fast friends. I will always remember how he would stand up for me when other kids picked on me (if you recall I was always the scrawny/nerdy type). He was kind of like the big brother I never had. I will always remember us playing with our matchbox cars, building "forts" in each other's back yard, exploring the drainage canals all the way to the tank farm over off Hwy 365, riding our bicycles and later mini-bikes on the old inter-urban right of way and the dirt trails that were around back then. Although we lost touch as we left college and moved into our careers, his passing has left a profound hole in my heart. These memories have helped in the past few days. I hope that your memories of Paul and your faith will bring you some comfort until we all see him again with our Father in Heaven. Love to you all. Kelly

From my family to yours, you have my deepest condolences for your loss.
