Kenneth "Kenny" Watkins
Kenneth "Kenny" Watkins passed away peacefully on November 22, 2025, surrounded by family and held firmly in his faith. Born to Bobby Wayne Watkins (deceased) and Colleen (Owens) Braithwaite, Kenny lived a life rooted in hard work, loyalty, and love.
He is survived by his wife, Regina Watkins; his stepchildren, Erica Lewis (Courtney) and Zachery Hill; his grandchildren, Jade Lewis and Xavier Lewis; and his sister, Deanna (Watkins)Morris (Joe).
For over 30 years, Kenny worked as a commercial electrician, known for his dedication and blue-collar pride. He had a passion for robotic mechanics and programming during his time with Mueller Fittings, and he enjoyed fishing, deer hunting, RC airplanes, and cheering for the Arkansas Razorbacks and Los Angeles Rams. He loved traveling to the mountains, was devoted to his church family at the Apostolic Church of Drummonds, and had a special soft spot for children and animals. No meal was complete without his favorite hot sauce.
Above all, Kenny loved his family deeply and lived a life guided by faith and integrity.
Scripture:
"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith."
- 2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)
May his memory be a blessing and his legacy live on in the hearts of all who loved him.
