Roddy Lee Watt was born April 19, 1953, in Crossett, AR to Noel and Francis Watt. Roddy was a dedicated employee at Georgia Pacific for 43 years. He spent every moment he had with his family and everyone enjoyed their precious time together outdoors hunting, fishing, and traveling. His passion for life was contagious and he made so many friends that saw his energy and love. Family was his cornerstone, he always surrounded himself with loved ones and kept everyone fed with so many cookouts or fish frys. He closely mentored his children and grandchildren instilling the values of being a man that takes care of their families. Even though he was a grandfather, many of his grandchildren saw him as a second father. Roddy will live on in our hearts and joyous memories forever.
Roddy was preceded in death by his parents, Roy Noel and Francis Lee Jones Watt; 3 sisters, Edna Mae Watt, Norma Jean Harshburger, and Betty Johnson; and a brother, Roy N. Watt, Jr.
Survivors include his wife of 22 years, Patricia Watt; children: son, Chris Watt and wife Mandy; son, Michael Watt and wife Laura; daughter, Jennifer Dossett and husband Shane; and daughter, April Dillingham; 11 grandchildren, Kason Martin Watt, Jase Addison Watt, Maylee Claire Watt, Austin Michael Watt, Aubrey Blake Watt, A. J. Marlin, Dakota Lance Marlin, Leo Palmer Fontana, Anthony Joseph Fontana, Thomas Hugh Dossett, and Christopher Cole Dossett; sisters, Lois Jean Lowry, Maxine Felkins, and Barbie Thornton; niece, Margie K. Holt; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Pallbearers will be Grey White, Jack Fuller, Trent Dauzat, Jason Fontana, Troy Jarrell, Alan Stutts, Harold Hall, and Paul Wheeler. Honorary pallbearers will be Rob Thornton, Bobby Johnson, and Scott Freeman.
Memorials may be made to the Lance Michael Thomas Foundation, 700 University Ave., Monroe, LA 71209, or the Diabetes Foundation.
The family would like to give a special thanks to the first responders that risked their own lives to help in the search for Roddy. Larry Kennley, Colton Finley, Devin Woodall, Union Parish Sheriff’s Office, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and all the other boaters that assisted as well.
