Barry Watson Obituary
Barry Loren Watson, 57, of Rogersville, passed away Tuesday, September 27, 2022, in his home.
Born February 16, 1965, in Waynesburg, a son of the late James L. and Marie Stockdale Watson of Holbrook.
Barry was a Greene County resident his whole life. He graduated from West Greene High School in 1983. Barry attended the Rogersville United Methodist Church and the First United Methodist Church when he resided in Waynesburg. He had a strong faith in God and recently invited a neighborhood child to attend church with him. He started working at age 16 at the Waynesburg Shop-n-Save to save money to buy his first love, a Chevrolet Camaro that he painted candy apple red. He went on to work as a Project Manager at Chapman Corporation for over 20 years and Mark West and Matrix for a combined six years. He also worked as a Sales Specialist for Lowes in Uniontown.
He enjoyed taking his daughter and her friends shopping and to the movies, shooting guns with his son, restoring his Chevy pickup truck and hanging out with his favorite dog Bubby.
He loved spending time with his mother while she was alive. He also loved singing, including singing with his best friend's band while in high school. His voice could be heard for miles as he mowed the lawn, made dinner for his children's friends or while doing a menial task. His voice will be greatly missed.
Barry is survived by, two children, Alex Watson, of Rogersville and Rachel Watson, of Carmichaels; seven siblings, Anita Bostjancic, of Monroeville, James (Linda) Watson, of Holbrook, Barbara Mooney, of Sycamore, George (Trina) Watson, of Hickory, Harry L. (Joyce) Watson, of Columbia, TN., Nanette (Rick) Beazell, of Waynesburg, and Becci Watson, of Holbrook; several nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews whom he loved very much.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his nephew, Justin L. Watson.
