Phillip (Phil) Watson Obituary
Phil was born on August 11, 1952 in Kansas City, Missouri to Ruth and Gerald Watson.
He loved being with his family, loved music, was nearly too good at puzzles and word games, loved nature, feeding the birds, sitting in the sun, the ocean, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Mizzou Tigers. He was very creative and artistic. clever and full of jokes, always the life of the party.
He is preceded by his parents and brothers Tom, Mike and Paul Watson. Survivors include his wife, Debbie Watson, his daughters, Kim Kern, Kay Pyle, Jeri Bradshaw, Amber Beasley, Andi Watson, and his sisters, Patty Post, Toni Sparks, and Nicki McLain as well as 13 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
There will be no services, however, there will be a life celebration next year May 31, 2025, Saturday, at the Elks Lodge, 7010 N Cherry Avenue, Gladstone, MO 64118.

Back in the 80's and 90's, Phil and I were great friends and brother-in-laws.
We lost track of each other until around 2018.
I loved him like a brother, he will truly be missed.

Phil and I worked together after school, at a neighborhood small store. When I wasn't out delivering customers' orders or purchases (if they had no means to get them home) we would work at doing cleaning around the store, and the butcher shop at the back. When the store was not busy we would take trash out, sweep floors, etc. He had a great sense of humor and would make me laugh, A LOT!
