BENJAMIN PATRICK WARE

BENJAMIN PATRICK WARE Adventurer, master storyteller, free spirit; Ben lived life big. A loving son, brother, uncle, cousin, husband, friend and adoring companion to his dog Indy. Ben would give you the shirt off his back, the shoes on his feet and the sandwich he'd just carefully crafted, if he thought it would bring you happiness. Ben's journey started on May 11, 1974, in Chertsey, UK, as the first-born of Anne and David Ware. Five months later, the family relocated to Cambridge, Ontario and soon after Ben was joined by a new sister Rachel, who would become his best friend. Growing up in Cambridge, Ben forged an unstoppable bond with a group of like-minded adventurers - The Boys. With endless epic stories of their times together, that make us laugh and cry, his memory will be kept alive always. Ben found true love with Genevieve Gately; they shared a powerful and complete devotion that is far too rare in this world. Those who were fortunate enough to know Ben, witnessed him excel in many pursuits. He was an artist, an athlete and a scholar - with an adept ability to make people laugh. Ben passed away, surrounded by family and friends, on the morning of June 10, 2015 at Mississauga's Credit Valley Hospital. Warmest thanks to the hospital staff who cared for our Ben. The tragic accident that took his life will now save the lives of multiple donor recipients and help many, many more through blood, bone and tissue donations. Ben never did anything at less than 110% and now his kind, adventurous, loving and free spirit will live on in our memories and in the lives he has now helped to save. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in support of the Benjamin Ware Legacy Fund at gofundme.com/benware, a project that Ben was passionate about and had worked tirelessly on - to bring peace through Wilderness Therapy to those with physical and emotional struggles. His family is determined to see his vision accomplished.
