Watts – George "Jr." Harold Watts, Jr., age 51, of Bryceville, Florida passed away on February 11, 2022, at his residence. He was born on September 19, 1970, in Jacksonville, Florida to his loving parents, George Harold Watts, Sr. and Peggy Broxton Watts. Jr. was raised in Jacksonville and graduated from Ed White High School in 1988. Before graduation, he earned his certifications as a welder and served with his father at Tri State Contractors for a few years. He also worked at Millennium Specialty Chemicals in Jacksonville for 14 years before opening his own business, Watts Welding and Fabrication, which he proudly ran for 14 years. Jr's main passion in life was his family. In 1989, Jr. met the love of his life, Christina LeTralle Schofield, and they were happily married on March 20, 1990. Jr. was a devoted husband, loving father, pop, brother, and friend who enjoyed spending time with his family and making sweet memories. He also enjoyed being outdoors; hunting in his younger years, watching the deer in his back yard, fishing, and going to the beach. He also loved all music, but especially enjoyed old country, southern rock, and gospel. Jr. was a jack of all trades, a family man, a leader, and a true friend. He will be greatly missed and forever loved by all who knew him. Jr. was preceded in death by his mother, Peggy Watts and his brother, Dan Watts.
