Brohn Edward Max Ware, 90, went to be with the Lord Saturday, Jan. 23, 2021, after a brief battle with COVID-19. He was born Oct. 11, 1930, to Laurence Adam Ware and Lillie May Mayhew Ware. Brohn grew up in Mooresville. He graduated from Mooresville High School in 1948, where he lettered in football, baseball, and basketball.
In 1948, he enlisted in the Army achieving the rank of Master Sgt. He received the Certificate of Congressional Recognition for Invaluable and Meritorious Military Service to the United States of America for his service on the front lines in the Korean War.
In 1955, he graduated from Davidson College where he played basketball and received a degree in history. Brohn worked at BellSouth where he served in many management roles over his 30+ year career.
But the activity he was most passionate about was being a football referee which was always the highlight of each week. For more than 15 years on Friday nights and Saturday mornings you could find him wearing a white hat and a striped shirt running up and down the field officiating at high school and college games.
He was a member of Centre Presbyterian Church in Mooresville, NC where he served and was active in Sunday school and worship. He was a follower of Jesus Christ for many years and had made it a point to be intentional in living out his faith daily always leaving someone’s presence by telling them “God bless you.” He was preceded by his parents; and his brother, Joel Ware.Brohn was a loving and devoted husband and father.
He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Martha Ann Carven; sons, John Emory Ware (Audrey), Jeffery Lynn Ware and William Edward Ware (Myung Hee); granddaughter, Brennan Renee Ware; and stepgranddaughters, Megan Marie Hanks and Carmen Camille Whisler.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a celebration of his life will take place at a later date.
