Henry Watson

Henry Dale Watson, 57, of Hartford City, Indiana, passed peacefully away Sunday, July 16, 2023, while in the company of family members at his residence.

A son of the late Linda Sue (Ashburn) Lowe, Dale was born in Jamestown, Tennessee, on July 19, 1965, in the back of a taxicab and his life has continued to be one wild ride. He was a 1984 graduate of Jay County High School and formerly employed by YRC as a truck driver.

Dale was the loving husband of Lisa Gail (Burks) Watson, who he happily married on Dec. 25, 2018. He was a member of Kingsley Full Gospel Church and the NRA, and enjoyed listening to the oldies, riding on his motorcycle, being outside in nature, landscaping and working with his hands, and had a real appreciation for guitars, antiques and collectibles.

A regular "Mr. Fix It,” Dale had created an oasis and personal sanctuary for he, Lisa, their two precious pups and countless other furry critters over the years. From rough beginnings to the blood of Jesus, Dale devoted his later years to his Lord and Savior, spending time with his family, volunteering at church, Bible studies with his mother in law, helping others with anything they needed and animal rescue and rehabilitation. 

Dale is survived by his wife Lisa; one son, Anthony Dale Watson; one daughter, Chelsi Nichole Hill (husband: T.J.); four siblings, Jimmy, Mary, Shelia and Tonya; and five grandchildren, Aubree, Jesse, Tommy, Emrie and Alya.

He was preceded in death by his parents and one sister, Brenda.

Services are private at the convenience of the family. Burial will be held in Dunkirk IOOF Cemetery at a later date.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Kingsley Full Gospel Church. 

Arrangements have been entrusted to MJS Mortuaries.
