Alex Edgar Watson Sr., 89, of Columbus, OH passed away on Saturday, September 14, 2024. Alex was a beloved fiancé, brother, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend.

Alex was a lifelong resident of Columbus, OH and a 1953 graduate of Mifflin High School. Throughout his life, Alex had many hobbies, including bowling and enjoying relaxation and his family at his retreat on the Muskingum River. Notably among his family, Alex was an avid thrifter and never returned from an excursion around town without a new treasure. Alex was always up for a good debate on anything from sports to politics, and never missed a televised high school football game if he could help it. In honor of Alex, a graveside service will be held on Tuesday, September 24 at 1:00 PM at Riverside Cemetery on Sunbury Road in Columbus, OH. The Newcomer Family is honored to serve the Watson Family. To leave a condolence, or to share a memory please visit the tribute section of the obituary page.
