On Saturday, February 6th, 2021, Alexander Watson passed away at the age of 91.
He was born on September 9th, 1929 in Durham, NC, to Edith Ann Watson. He received his college degree from NC A&T State University, served in the Army, and taught Black History and Music in the Thomasville School system for over 30 years. He was married to Katye Graham Watson, and they raised two sons, Michael and Christopher. They also treasured their only grandchild, Lauren, who was the light of their lives.
In addition to being a Christian and his love of family and community, Alexander was a musician and singer, was a history buff, was forever committed to his fraternity (Kappa Alpha Psi), and was a servant leader. He never met a stranger and he always led by example. He was known for his infectious smile, sharp wit, and always looking out for others. He truly was a renaissance man who made a difference and had a lasting impact on the world.
Alexander was preceded in death by his great love and wife, Katye. He is survived by his sons Michael and Christopher, his granddaughter Lauren, numerous relatives of the extended Watson and Graham families, his Kappa brothers, and the Greensboro community at large.
