Tim Watson Obituary

A man with a smile and heart larger than life, Tim Watson is now watching over us all and showering us with his beautiful smile and love for life from heaven. He passed away Sunday, Sept. 21, 2014. Service: 1 p.m. Saturday at Christ Chapel. Interment: Greenwood Memorial Park. Visitation: 5 to 7 p.m. Friday at Thompson's Harveson & Cole Funeral Home. Memorials: His memory may be honored with a gift to Fort Worth Dream Park, Box 470517, Fort Worth, Texas 76147, dreamparkfw.org; The Saving Hope Foundation, 950 Commerce St., Fort Worth, Texas 76102, saving-hope.com; or Racers for Christ, teamrfc.org. Tim's passions were his friends, family, drag racing, live music and tailgating. However, maybe not in that order, depending on if it was a TCU home game weekend, there was a drag race he was going to, or there was a great concert somewhere. He lived his life to the absolute fullest and tried to make sure those around him did as well, in his words, "gas is on the right." He had an amazing ability to make everyone around him, including strangers, feel happy and special. His smile could brighten your darkest day, and his laugh was absolutely infectious. Tim loved everyone and never met a stranger, they were just friends he hadn't met yet. Tim's brother-in-law, Will Churchill, called him the unofficial mayor of Fort Worth. God called a great man home. We hope heaven is ready for a drag racing, life-living, meticulously organized, loving husband, tailgating, golf playing and amazing friend. If heaven doesn't have a drag strip, parking lot for tailgating, or a music venue, it will soon. While our hearts are saddened, heaven got a little brighter. In the words of Tim Watson, "nailed it." Survivors: Wife, Corrie and their "fur children," Cami and Hummer; parents, Tim Watson Sr. and Carole Lumpkins Wilkinson; his beloved grandmother, Margaret "Nana" Lumpkins; sister, Jennifer Watson and her son, Jacob; Corrie's twin brother, Will Churchill, his wife, Rachael, and their son, Cash; and many extended family members.

Dear Tim,

I'm sorry it has taken me this long to write but I've just been lost for words. I'm still trying to understand but at the same time Corrie said something that really registered with me. Corrie said, "God must have needed you more", and there I sat analyzing it all. Corrie is so right but I just wish I could rewind back to our senior year in World History and have those times of joking, class clowning together and us singing in the hall - that famous lyric- Do you know where you are?Your in the Jungle Baby!!! Your face the day I nailed in the hall and us laughing so hard we couldn't even hold our books! The last time I hung out with you in Dallas, I wished I hugged you harder but I do have the one thing I'll treasure for ever - the pic we took in the photo booth - Clowing Around. Bless you buddy you are an amazing angel that I'll think about every night at prayer time with my family.

Love - Marisa Thompson - Coyle

RIP Tim "Mudpuppy" Watson-- remember the good old days of playing basket ball against you. You were a "passionate guy" when competition was in play. Remember also the blue 49 Chevy with the blue and white "tuck and roll" interior. Rest in peace my man!

Tim,

Symon and I will miss seeing you at the TCU home games, Backstage Club during the Rodeo and out and about in Fort Worth.

We both shared so many laughs with you and your family. When talking about your passing, we both agree that our fondest memory is when we were listening to Wade Bowen at a fundraiser in a home in Fort Worth.

You and Corrie were soaking your feet in the hot tub, enjoying the music. And you asked her to slow dance in the hot tub. The look of love and admiration in both of your eyes touched us all that night.

You lived every moment to the fullest and you are a reminder to us all that we need to do the same. We will miss you, but feel comforted that you are in heaven watching over us.

September 25, 2014

Tim was a great guy with a million dollar smile. RIP friend. Prayers for his family.
