Condolences to the Watts family during this time of sorrow. It’s been a few years since I last spoke with Mr. Watts Jr. My first contact with him was at a job site many years ago, while he was working beside his dad, Mr Watts Sr. Well mannered while getting the job done. He was taught well on how to conduct himself early in life . I will miss him, he was impressive. My prayers are with you during this time of grief.
Our hearts were saddened to hear our brother in Christ had transitioned. He was so pleasant and we always looked forward to speaking with him. We want to encourage you in the Lord that His Word is true and so He is faithful, the dead in Christ will rise first and those who remain will be caught up together to meet the Lord, Oh what a great reunion day. We pray You experience that peace that surpasses understanding. Love in Christ. The Skinner Family

To Mrs. Watts, Lisa and the rest of the family. We the Morant family extend our deepest condolences. Words cannot express how saddened we are about Mr. Watts passing. You all have been lifelong neighbors, supports, friends/ family and Prayer Warriors when our family needed it.
I can recall the many times Mr. Watts laughed at me when I was cutting the grass, especially the time I ran in the house and left the lawn mower running because of a snake. After he had a great chuckle he came over to the house to check on me, and he and my Dad had a good old laugh and then he said, Kisha I will finish cutting the grass for you!
Mr. Watts will truly be missed for his smile and laughter, willingness to help others and getting in his truck to go umpiring.
To Mrs. Watts, you are truly a gem and kind hearted person. Living next to you all has been an absolute pleasure and privilege. Please know that my Mother Maxine is right next door if you need a shoulder to lean on, and I am less the five minutes away if you need help with the yard, or anything at all.” The neighborhood simply won’t feel the same without his truck and trailer, or his presence, but the wonderful memories will stay with us forever.”
2 Thessalonians 3:16 – “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way.”
With deepest sympathy,
May the cherished memories of the times you all shared bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time..

I will always cherish our last visit. You shared encouraging words with my son and told him how proud you were that he had earned his pilot’s license. Thank you for speaking love and encouragement into his life. Those words will always mean so much to us.

Until we meet again… job well done. 🕊️❤️🙏🏾

We are so sorry to hear of Bill passing may God bless the family
My sincerest condolences. I saw him last conducting a military ceremony at our church, which was a spectacular performance! He also poured the concrete pad for my teenage son when we built our new home. So this news catches me off my guards, but God saw fit to call him home. To his wife, Mary, and other family members and friends, he will be missed. Willie, rest well, sir. I salute you!
To The Watts Family, Sorry For Your Lost , Prayers and Condolences To You, 🙏 Loretta on the Behalf of The Moore Family
