CINCINNATI -- The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office announced the passing of Deputy Michael Ware on Friday.
According to a GoFundMe page created in 2017, Ware had been diagnosed with pancreatic and liver cancer after going to the emergency room for stomach pain. Ware had been with the agency for more than two decades, according to Corporal John Haynes who previously posted to the page.
In a tweet, the sheriff’s office said, "Deputy Ware will be missed by his colleagues, the community, and many lives he touched. We pray for his family during these difficult times."
