Timothy Scott Watson, 64, passed away on March 1, 2025 in his home in Shaftsbury, Vermont.

Timothy was born on October 6, 1959 in Tokyo, Japan and lived all over the world and the United States. He is survived by his wife, Ellen Chrisman Watson; his son, Paul Watson; and his daughter, Hillary Watson; as well as his two beloved labs, Gergie and Riley.

Tim served in the military for over forty years and retired when he turned 60. He was the Supervisor of the Electrical and Environmental Systems Shop. He was deployed several times for his job. Tim served with the Honor Guard for a number of years, and he worked for Walsh Electric after he retired from the Guard, until he was no longer able to work.

Timothy had enjoyed household projects over the years, but his failing health prevented him from doing these things as he got older. Tim had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh. He was a devoted husband and father and loved his family deeply.
