With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Tony Watson, who left this world peacefully at the age of 83. He was a devoted father, a cherished friend, and an inspiration to many.
Born on January 17, 1942 in Missouri, Tony lived a life marked by resilience, kindness, and unwavering love for his family. He was the proud and loving father of four daughters and one son: Stacy Livesay (Steve Livesay), Angela Headrick (Joshua Headrick), Jamie Watson, Corrine Gonzales, Anthony Watson (Deceased), and numerous grandchildren: Sandra Bell, Sheri King, Robert Stollenmaier, Dakota Livesay, Andrew Gonzales II, Fredrick Gonzales, Pauline Gonzales (Deceased), Tyler Davis, Mark Stubblefield, Julius Headrick, along with several great-grandchildren, and special friendships Jack (Julius) Hedrick and friends do Bill W. His wisdom, humor, and gentle spirit shaped their lives in immeasurable ways.
One of his greatest achievements was his 38 years of sobriety, a testament to his strength, perseverance, and dedication to a life of purpose. He became a beacon of hope and support for many walking the same path, always offering words of encouragement and an open heart.
Tony will be deeply missed, but forever remembered in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy of love, resilience, and redemption will live on through his family and the countless lives he touched.
The family gives a special thank you to Tori and Megan from Amedysis Hospice Care Kingsport Office.
Rest easy, Dad. Your journey was one of strength, love, and inspiration.
