Roy Watkins Obituary

It is with a sad heart that I tell you of the passing of my brother, Roy Watkins. He died relatively peacefully with his sons and the General by his side.
He is survived by his sons Derek Watkins of Prescott, Arizona and Zack Watkins (Haley and Granger) of Fallon. Nevada. All his brothers and sisters from the Owen's Valley.
To remember JR plant a garden, irrigate your land, gather wood for your winter's fire, float the river, go fishing, always make time with your friends for a male bonding gathering, live your life because ironically it doesn't last as long as you'd think.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

First met Roy in Big Pine, where his Dad (Salmon Shirt) taught with my Dad. He was always one that flirted with the rules and a genuine friend. RIP Roy

I Havel own Roy since third grade when he moved to Bishop. One of his first few days at Line Street School he kicked a ball upon the roof. ( against the rules )

A great friend all these years.

Unique insight on life and human nature.

He touched all our lives.
