Kenneth Watson Obituary

Kenneth Wayne Watson, aged 77, passed away on September 18, 2025, in Birmingham, AL. Born on August 20, 1948, Kenneth was a cherished member of his community and a loving figure within his family. He graduated from Anniston High School and spent much of his career as a dedicated cook at Hunter Street Baptist Church and Cook Springs. Kenneth's love for music was profound, often found playing his guitar and sharing his passion for cooking with those around him. He was a social individual who deeply loved his family, always providing warmth and joy. Kenneth is survived by his daughters, Carrie Hendrix and Leighanne Jones; brother, Alan Watson; sister, Debbie Watson; grandchildren, Taylor, Tristan, Tucker, and Tanner Hendrix, Nathan, Noah, and Nic Jones; and great-grandchildren, Kyndall Jones, Palmer Hendrix, and Jack Wayne Hendrix. He was preceded in death by his wife, Donna Watson; parents, Herman and Mildred Watson; son, Taylor Watson; and great-grandson, Graham Hendrix. A private family service is planned to honor Kenneth's life. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Alzheimer's research, continuing Kenneth's legacy of caring and support for others.
