Jason Dean Ware, 46, of Saluda, passed away Friday, Aug. 11, 2023.
Jason was born and raised in Middlesex County and was a 1994 graduate of Middlesex High School. He grew up playing Little League and junior varsity baseball. Hard working at an early age, he rode his bike to his first job at a blueberry farm a few miles up the road from his home.
He loved playing and following all sports, but he found his passion when he joined the Upper Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department (UMVFD) when he was 16 years old. Jason stayed on with the department for many years until he briefly moved away. However, with perseverance and determination, he achieved his dream of fighting fires professionally in 2003.
