My name is Shy-La and my son Pharrow Ware left this earth on 04/12/2026 after suffering a gunshot wound while attending a family gathering on Easter Sunday. Pharrow was the sweetest, most gentle giant, excited for his prom and graduation. My son lit up rooms when he walked in and was getting ready to attend college in Utah. He just wanted a better life, to be great, and to show others that no matter where you come from, you can achieve your dreams because dreams are where it starts. I can honestly say he was the best part of me and his father.

I'm reaching out to you, friends, family, and community for support while my family tries to understand why him. He was and is so loved by many teachers, friends, and family. He has definitely impacted so many lives, so if you can find it in your heart, anything would be greatly appreciated.
