Buddy Lee watts

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Buddy Lee Watts, who left us far too soon on March 13, 2026, at the age of 52. Buddy was born on July 14, 1973, in the charming town of Shelby, North Carolina. His journey through life was tragically cut short due to a car accident. Buddy was the cherished son of Charley Watts and Margie Thompson, who preceded him in death. Buddy is survived by his beloved children: Emily, Matt, and Faith Watts. His legacy continues through his five adoring grandchildren, who brought him immeasurable joy and pride. Buddy was a man of simple pleasures, finding peace in the outdoors. His love for fishing and hunting was well known. In honoring Buddy's wishes, a private ceremony will be held to celebrate his life, where family and close friends will gather to share stories, tears, and smiles as they remember a life well lived. During this time of mourning, we find comfort in the knowledge that Buddy is reunited with his parents, Charley and Margie, in eternal peace. Though the loss of Buddy Lee Watts is profound, we take solace in the love he gave and the memories he leaves behind. A reminder that though he is gone, he will never be forgotten.
