WILLIAM BOYNE WARE July 12, 1951 – February 3, 2009 Our family and friends mourn the passing of our beloved William Boyne Ware on Tuesday, February 3, 2009. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to many. Bill leaves behind his wife of 29 years, Sharin Dee Ware, the love of his life, his business partner, and co-owner of Bill’s Auto Repair. Bill worked daily from sunrise to well after sunset in their business and was known for his honesty and integrity. In March of 2003, Bill became ill, diagnosed with end-stage liver disease and was placed on the liver transplant list. His wife Sharin gave him unyielding support, care, and love during his wait. After 6 long years, waiting for a liver transplant, enduring many medical complications associated with liver disease, his long medical battle was lost. Bill was preceded in death by his father, Allison B. Ware, who was a Superior Court Judge in Butte County; and his mother, Mabel E. Ware, a housewife. He loved and cherished his children unconditionally, son, William “Brady” Ware; daughter, Kelly Dawn Espinoza, Debbie A. Upton, Craig A. Drebert and Dana L. Drebert. Dear to him were his nine grandchildren, Emma Espinoza, Scott, Matthew, Cristina,and Danielle Upton, Mason Scholz, Conner and Makenzie Bouttote, Bradley Drebert; and his sisters, Diane Vaters, Carolyn Keaton, Margaret Larimer, Lilla Virginia Ware, and brother Allison Ware; and nieces, nephews, and cousins. Bill was a man of many talents; he was a master mechanic for the better part of his life. He was a proud business owner, and created an excellent reputation. The business will continue on in his memory and will be run by his son Brady Ware, who will protect the reputation and values his father had in place. All who knew him well were very aware of his passion for automobiles, motorcycles, computers, airplanes, and almost anything that could be made with his hands. Bill’s love for our Lord Jesus Christ was evident with his family and in his long journey through his illness. Bill, we all want you to know our unyielding love for you and that you made a difference in our lives and touched our hearts. Though we mourn our loss, we take great comfort knowing you are now with our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, who will love and care for you well beyond what we can imagine here on earth. We all love you William Boyne Ware. You made a difference in our lives. Your loving wife and children will cherish the essence of your spirit and all of our fond memories will remain in our hearts forever. Loved ones and friends are invited to celebrate Bill’s life on Thursday, February 19, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. at the Paradise Alliance Church, 6491 Clark Road, Paradise California. Donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.
