Gary Shane Ware

Gary Shane Ware, 63, passed away on August 1, 2025, in Center, Texas. Born on November 4, 1961, in Santa Ana, California, to Reagan Dale Ware and Denise (Hasenpflug) Aline Ware.

No services are planned at this time.

Gary grew up in San Pablo before making East Texas his home in the 1980s. Gary had a deep love for the outdoors. Whether he was casting a line while fishing, cruising down dirt roads with the windows down, or riding his bike under open skies, he found joy and peace in nature. His passion for cars and Nascar reflected his appreciation for speed and craftsmanship. But above all else, Gary cherished his children and treasured every moment spent with them.

Those who knew Gary remember him as a loving and compassionate soul whose presence brought warmth and comfort. He embraced life with a quiet strength and an open heart.

He is flying with the eagles now—and able to be in three states at the same time.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
