Keith A. Watson 1960-2024

He was born May 11, 1960, in Ravenna, the fourth son of James Kenneth Watson I and Mary Margaret Shipley.

Keith enjoyed hunting and fishing; he spent many mornings chasing deer and jumping up rabbits. He preferred night fishing and once caught a 4-foot blue cat from Lovers’ Lane — he was so proud of that!

He was a 1978 graduate of Garfield High School and Maplewood JVS.

Keith had worked at Oakwood Custom Pallets for many years.

Surviving relatives include his children, Brandi Watson (Theotis), Keith Watson Jr. (Jenni) of Elkins, W.Va., and Codey Blake of Windham; his grandchildren, Deyontae, Donald, Nathan, Rosalyn, Daryan and Bethany; his brothers, James II, Lonnie and Kenneth; and many nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Larry; his sister, Brenda; and his grandson, Devan.

Visitation for Keith will be 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., with a service to follow at 1 p.m. Monday, Oct. 7, 2024, at the Borowski Memorial Home in Newton Falls.

Interment will be in the Harrington Cemetery, Nelson Township, Ohio.
