In the early hours of February 3, 2022, on his day of birth, Patrick Terrance Ware was called home by our Heavenly Father after giving us 70 years of love, laughter, and friendship.
Patrick was born on February 3, 1952 in Dallas, TX to Basil R. Ware and Margaret “Mimi” Ware. As a child, Patrick had a natural inquisitiveness about everything and how it worked. It would come as no surprise that he was a natural born pilot; from turning his sandbox into his personal cockpit to using Mimi’s laundry basket to practice takeoffs and landings, flying was Patrick’s first love and passion in life.
