Timothy was a man who lived his life with passion and enthusiasm. As an ironworker, he dedicated himself to perfecting his craft. He made unbreakable bonds with so many of his own kind and knew he was where he was meant to be.  Everyone at Ironworker to him was a brother. He had an undeniable love for water, bonfires, and camping. Whether it was splashing in the waves at his favorite lakeside spot, gathering around a crackling bonfire with loved ones, or pitching a tent under the starlit sky, Timothy felt a deep sense of peace and connection in these moments.

Timothy is survived by his fiancé, Wendy Hull; sons, Dustin Watson, Michael Watson (Simone), Cory Watson (Brittany), Daniel Milliken (Amanda), and John Wayne Gunnels; daughter, Jennifer Young (Penny); sister Anita Davis.; grandchildren, Caden, Bailey, Cailey, Nathaniel, Donovan, and Xena Watson, Braden, Nathan, Landon, Eliza, and Savahanna Gunnels, Maddie Young, Owen, Addison, and Autumn Milliken; cousins, Lori and Ken Guess, Sandy Kroft, Stephanie Brannon, Justin Kroft, John Warren, Lee & Kathy Warren; and Aunt Sue Brannon. He preceded in death by his parents; son, Joey Crane; and his brother, Tommy Lynn Watson.

May Timothy rest in eternal peace and find the peace we all knew he sought and deserved, forever remembered for his incredible workmanship and his genuine love for nature.
