Patterson Ware Hart

Ware was born on April 24,1989 to Pat and Amelia Hart. He attended The Lovett School in Atlanta, Georgia, before transferring to IMG Baseball Academy and graduating from Saint Stephen’s Episcopal School in Bradenton, Florida. He went on to receive a baseball scholarship at George Washington University and later St Leo University. He graduated with a degree in International Business and was an Insurance Agent with Oakbridge Insurance Group.

Ware loved baseball, fishing, hunting and finding sushi restaurants no one else had ever heard of before. He had a witty sense of humor, he loved Shirley Temples, and had a lifelong goal to grow a full beard. He had an affinity for quirky socks and a candy weakness that would rival that of any kid. That's because he was always a big kid at heart. His ability to relate to kids was on full display during his time as a mentor with the Big Brothers Big Sisters program and as a volunteer Little League baseball coach.

But his gift with kids was never more apparent than with the two people he loved more than anything in the world, his daughters, Holden and Evelyn. When he was with them, whether they were exploring the backyard for bugs or bouncing their way through an indoor trampoline park, they had his undivided attention. Though their time together on this earth was short, it was meaningful and precious.

Ware is survived by his parents; his wife, Maggie (Holden) Hart; his children; his sister, Paige Hart Hawks (Rick); his nieces, Elle Hawks and Rowe Hawks; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

The family will receive friends at H. M. Patterson and Son-Canton Hill Chapel between the hours of 11:00am and 1:00pm on Monday, April 29. Funeral services will immediately follow in the Chapel.
