Watson; children, M. Kenneth Watson Jr. (Linda) and Janice W. Caldwell (Steven); six grandchildren, Dawn Watson-Bronner (Rob), Lisa Davis (Joe), Melissa Watson, Scott Caldwell (Kim), Kenny Caldwell (Casey), and Kenneth Watson (Jaimee); eleven great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
