Mark Chadwick Watts

Mark Chadwick Watts, born on May 17th, 1968, passed away peacefully from this earth to his heavenly home on April 17th, 2025. He attended EPIC and Ramsey schools in Birmingham, Alabama; he played baseball throughout school with the Birmingham Police Athletic team (PAT); during his junior year of high school he was honored to be in the Junior Olympics; he entered Faulkner State College in Bay Minette, Alabama where he played baseball; after completing Faulkner State, he then entered the University of North Georgia in Dahlonega, Georgia to further his education. He never lost his interest in baseball and other sports. He lived in Helena, Alabama for the past 17 years. Mark enjoyed his lifetime work as an Industrial Radiographer and worked as long as he was able.  

Mark is survived by his beloved children, Julie, Shelby, and Gabe; his brothers, David Jr.(Jennifer)and Paul (Loma); his sister, Trudy; his mother, Linda Watts who loved him with her whole body and soul; his father, David Sr.( Lynn) and; a host of other relatives and friends.

Mark’s greatest joy and love in life was spending time with his dogs, Coda, Kilo, Caliwina, Max and most of all Lexi whom he adored, and his beloved children, Julie, Shelby, and Gabe. True love existed between them as they loved, laughed, and protected each other until the very end.

In place of formal services, the immediate family is asking each individual who knew and loved Mark to spend a moment of silence to remember Mark. Should you want to honor Mark, in lieu of flowers, the children are suggesting a donation to any children or animal shelter.

The twinkle in his eyes and his ease of conversation will be forever missed but never forgotten.
