He was preceded in death by his father, James Dudley Watson. His memory will be forever cherished by his mother, Mary Sue Patterson; a sister, Susalyn Bennett (Joe W., Jr.); four brothers, Byron Watson, Micah Watson, Daniel Watson, and Mark Watson; an aunt, Gene Beasley; and a host of nieces and nephews.
Our sweet brother, Eric, spent his life in a body that did not work as it should, and there were many things he was unable to do. But he could and did love us big-time. He saved three people’s lives this week with organ donations and will save some other’s sight with tissue donations. So we are celebrating his life and his passing to a better place.
Funeral services will be held graveside at 10:00 AM on Saturday, August 13, 2022 at Good Hope Baptist Church Cemetery in Columbia, MS.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in Eric's memory may be made to Mississippi Special Olympics, specialolympicsms.org.
