In loving memory of
Antonio Ray Ware
September 6, 2019
Antonio Ray Ware is remembered as a young Memphian whose life mattered to family and community — a person deserving of dignity, memories, and a place to be honored.
Remembering Antonio
A life held close in memory
Antonio Ray Ware was a 29-year-old member of the Memphis community whose life touched family, friends, and neighbors. Public records of his death indicate he spent time with others at the Fox Hollow Townhomes on Chestwood Drive in southeast Memphis; beyond that brief public mention, details about his everyday life — work, schooling, hobbies, and close relationships — are not available in accessible verified notices.
While the public record is limited, it is clear Antonio was a real person with family and a community connected to him. He was transported to Regional One Health after being shot on the evening of September 6, 2019, and was later pronounced dead. Those facts, recorded by local law-enforcement and community-notice sources, mark a tragic end but do not define the whole of his life.
Because no published obituary or family-authorized memorial matching his full name and the exact date of death was found in available reliable sources, this remembrance focuses on recognizing Antonio as a person first. He is named here with respect and care: as someone whose life had meaning to people who knew him, and whose loss left family and community members with unanswered questions and grief.
If family or friends wish to provide further memories, stories, or corrections, those personal remembrances would help give a fuller, warmer portrait of Antonio — the roles he played, the people he loved, and the everyday moments that meant the most to him. For now, this page holds his name and the fact of his passing as a humble acknowledgement that a life was lived and is missed.
