Simply CremationRoland H. Watts
Mr. Roland Herbert Watts, 90 of Surprise, Arizona passed away on January 5, 2023, in Surprise, Arizona. He was born July 24, 1932, to Herbert and Margaret Watts in Coloma, Michigan.
He served in the United States Navy from June 20, 1950, to December 8, 1955, as an Aviation Machinists’ Mate R Third Class.
In his younger years, you could find Roland on the baseball field- playing men’s fast-pitch softball or coaching little league for his boys. When he retired you could always find him on the golf course playing a round of golf with his wife, Donna, his friends, or golfing in a ProAm tournament. He also loved boating, fishing, and jeeping.
Roland is survived by his daughter, Terri Needham (Mark) of Surprise, Arizona; his son, Mitch Watts (Carla) of Carson City, Nevada; his 6 grandchildren: Maci (Garrett), Desiree (Jeff), Ashley (Brodie), Jason (Heather), Scott (Brenna) and Sara (Tyler); as well as his 15 great-grandchildren: Carson, Cohen and Jillian; Kaleb and Wyatt; Zetta and Rowdie; Alaina and Raiden; Brixon and Revy Rose; Kane, Jacob, Jackson, and Liam.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Herb and Margaret Watts; his sister, Dorcas Senum; his brother Dean Watts; his wife, Donna Watts, his son, Robert Watts (Bobby); and his granddaughter, Melinda Needham.
Burial will be at Memory Gardens Cemetery, 3873 East Avenue, Livermore, California 94550.
Thank you for entrusting us to handle the arrangements for Mr. Watts. My thoughts and prayers remain with Terri, and the rest of his family and friends during this time.
Donna and “Honey Watts” are finally together again. Along with Bobby and the rest. Love and peace to the family.
