Lougene Ware was born in Newton, Georgia on July 2, 1959.  He was the  son of Louise Ware and the late Charlie Ware.

During the early years of his life, he accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior.

Lougene was a very unique individual with a compassionate, humble, loving, and giving spirit.  He had an inquisitive mind that guided his life-long experiences and a spirit of sunshine that could be felt by all who encountered him.  Being surrounded by family and friends filled his heart with joy and he truly enjoyed every moment that was spent with them.  He laughed often, felt unbridled happiness, and loved unconditionally.  One of his finest qualities was gratitude.  Even in the midst of life's ups and downs, Lougene was always grateful for every good thing that came his way.  He was an incredible son, a loving brother, a caring uncle, a committed cousin, and an unforgettable friend.  His stamina and strength helped us realize that every day is a blessing and an opportunity to create lasting memories.

On September 17, 2020, Lougene was called home to eternal rest and peace.  In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by five brothers, Robert C. Ware, Earnest Ware, Charlie Ware, Jr., Willie F. Ware, and Zeddie Ware.

Loving memories will be forever treasured by his devoted mother, Louise Ware; his siblings, Kawanda (Darryl) Hines, Lonnie C. Green, Michael (Sherry) Ware, and Henry Ware all of Albany, GA, Charles (Martha) Ware of Kathleen, GA, Willie (Beulah) Ware of Columbia, SC, Ulysses (Veronica) Ware of Gordon, GA, Kenneth (Juanda) Ware of Kennesaw, GA, Christopher Slaughter of Columbus, GA, and Travis (Lavonia) Ware of Mississippi; a very special god-sister, Twyla P. Perry of Albany, GA; numerous aunts and uncles; and a host of nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends.
