Ware Brittain Newby passed away Oct. 31, 2015. He was born in Houston on April 29, 1952, to Sidney Ware and Mary Taylor Newby.

He moved to Austin in 1979 and then to Marble Falls in 2010. He was active in the VFW and loved fishing, having a good time, the ocean, lakes and vacations, playing shuffleboard and pool, music — especially Willie Nelson — and his dog, Biscuit.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
If you so desire, the family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to a veterans organization or a local no-kill animal shelter.
