Scott David Watkins, an extraordinary soul, passed from this life to eternal life on Saturday, May 20, 2017. He went peacefully and with anticipation. He was born October 22, 1969 in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, the son of Dr. Paul and Judy Watkins. His childhood was spent in Pauls Valley where he graduated from high school.

He went on to Arizona State University and was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity where he made many lifelong friends. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Sports Medicine. Scott enjoyed traveling, especially in Western Europe. He was also an avid Oklahoma Sooner football fan as a season ticket holder and traveled throughout the country to follow them. The First United Methodist Church was a focal point of Scott's life. He began attending there as a small child and became a member at the age of twelve. He volunteered many hours working with the Vacation Bible School, the annual Groundhog breakfast and many other church activities. Scott spent the last twenty years sailing the seas of the Caribbean with a passion. He and his father, Paul, explored the islands and entertained many family members and friends along the way.
