Chris, as family and friends would call him, had a wild spirit and loved spending time with his family from wrestling in line at Thanksgiving to grabbing a wrench and fixing a bicycle for his grandson Chris was always happy to be there.

Chris was preceded in death by grandmother, Carol Watkins and mother, Caroline Watkins whom he missed very much.

Chris was a light hearted person who loved to laugh no matter the occasion. He would always make sure to talk to you and let you know he was around. Everyone looked forward to Chris "making his rounds" (as he would call it) to everyone houses to check in and play with his beloved grandchildren. Chris taught his boys to be honest and do what makes them happy always. He left Christopher with his humor and famous trick of "dog licking" people to get them to laugh.

Chris loved NASCAR, Arkansas Razorbacks and God.

He will be deeply missed by all friends and family.
