Olin Edward Watson was born on August 6, 1934 to the late Harvey and Mozell Watson in Davidson County, NC, and entered eternal rest on September 26, 2025. He graduated from Dunbar High School and went on to attend Winston-Salem State University. In his earlier years, Olin was raised in the fellowship of Goodwill Baptist Church, where he attended both as a child and through adulthood. Olin was a devoted family man.

He was a guiding big brother to his siblings and is survived by his sister Irene Coleman and brothers William Lewis Watson and John Thomas Watson. He also leaves behind five nieces, eight grandchildren, sixteen great-grandchildren, and fourteen great-great-grandchildren, each of whom carry forward his legacy of love and unity.
