Roger Watson

Roger Watson, 75, a loving husband and partner, passed into the arms of Jesus on March 11, 2026, after several years of intensifying health issues. He possessed a strong faith in God and in life, and he will be deeply missed by many, especially his wife Ann. Though his absence leaves a profound void, those who loved him find comfort knowing he is now free.

Roger shared a special companionship with Ann, marked by quiet early-morning coffee, playful teasing, and the simple comfort of being together. He is survived by his loving wife, Ann; brother, Kenneth (Butch) (Tricia) Watson; sister, Kathy (Thurman) Walker; grandchildren, Luke (Karin) Wallace, Lance Wallace, Meleah (Kevin) Cox, Kaliah Grubbs; great-grandchildren, Josie and Rory Cox and Paul Wallace; nieces, Madison Walker and Laura Watson; and nephews, Harrison Walker and Brian Watson; in-laws, Bob (Larene) Bolen, Linda Barnett, and Teresa Hohlmayer and the entire extended Merz family.
