Oliver Ware

08/21/2025 -08/24/2025

Our cherished baby boy, Oliver Keith Ware, given to us on August 21st had his life ended too soon, on August 24th. Our family was not prepared to lose our precious baby so soon, but we are eternally grateful for the amount of time we were able to spend with him.

Oliver was named after his great-grandfather, Keith Sullivan, and was a bundle of joy and light that blessed our family. During his three short days here on Earth he touched many lives and was loved deeply by family and friends.

Oliver is survived by his loving parents, Samuel and Hannah Ware; twin-brother, Nathan James Ware; grandparents, James “Scooter” and Shae Mullinax, and Amy Sullivan; great-grandparents, Teresa Wing (Mark), Johnny and Sara Mullinax, and Keith Sullivan (Mary); uncle, J.J. Mullinax; aunt, Audrey Grace Mullinax (Oliver was his aunt GG’s best friend); uncle, CJ Smith; aunt, Ami and uncle Dustin Turnage; cousins, Rhett and Hudson Jones, and a host of others. (Honorable mention: great-great-grandmother, Helen Mullinax and great-great-great-aunt, Peggy Smith.)

Oliver is preceded in death by his great-grandfather, Nathan Whatley; his great-grandmother, Gay Sullivan and a host of others.

Our hearts will forever be filled with joy and honor because we were able to be graced with his beautiful presence.

A memorial service for Oliver will be held on September 13, 2025, at Baldwin-Lee Funeral Home in Pearl at 3:00pm with visitation starting at 1:00pm.

A special note from the family: Oliver’s twin-brother is in the NICU at Wiser Hospital for Women and Infants – UMMC for the foreseeable future and because of this the family is asking, in-lieu of flowers, to donate towards travel expenses for Hannah and Sam.
