Obituary

Charles Wayne Watson was born April 5th, 1953 in LaPorte, Indiana. He was a loving husband, of 48 years, to Carol Watson (North). Father to Heather Watson (Jim Beaumont) and Charles Watson II ( Amy Cleveland), and Papa to his pride and joy: Reece, Ryan, Emma, and Charlie.  He was the son of Earl Martin and Deloris (DePoy} Watson. Brother to Shanona Watson (Joseph Piegat) and Shelley Watson (Daniel Manogg). Chuck was a friend to anyone who met him. His personality exuded joy in every circumstance. He enjoyed playing the guitar with all of the people in his life. Teaching his family to play was a passion. He looked for every opportunity to encourage all of those around him. He was a patriot and the American flag meant something very special. He was proud to be a Freemason and a Shriner. He very much appreciated his brothers who shared that same commitment. He had a very successful career in the HVAC and sheet metal industry. Chuck firmly believed in Local 20 and all of the other Union brotherhoods. In spite of the health challenges he faced, he believed “I’ve never had a bad day in my life”. All who met him were blessed to be a part of his life. He believed in a hardworking, honest day’s work. But he was always prepared with a joke to lighten the mood. He loved watching his children and grandchildren perform sports and supported all of their teams and teammates. He was a protector and provider, not only to his family but to his community.  Our family will deeply miss the leadership and joy that Dad brought to our lives. He will not be forgotten because of the many ways he impacted all of us. Although he is physically gone, someone so special could never be forgotten for he has left a legacy of love. We love you Dad and will continue to work towards preserving your memory and making you proud.
