Obituary for Tavon Lance "Black" Watson

Tavon Lance “Black” Watson was born on May 9, 1982 to Tommy Watson, Sr. and the late Rowena Drummond. He entered the gates of Heaven on January 19, 2021.

Tavon received his education in Worcester County, Maryland and attended Pocomoke High School. He worked in several industries.

Tavon had a heart of gold, if he could help you in any way he would no matter what the task. He enjoyed doing door-dash with Keshell. He loved to joke on everyone, especially his family and friends.

Tavon knew Jesus as his Lord and personal Savior. He enjoyed going to church in his youth. Often, he would talk about the times his grandmother, Frances, would take him to Sunday school and church.

Tavon was well-known and loved by all. Zhe’el, Solei, and Bre’ajah were his pride and joy, he had so much love for his daughters. He was a diehard fan of the Green Bay Packers and the Los Angeles Lakers. Tavon loved sweet rice and boy did he love some good ole chicken and dumplings. His favorite sayings were “Yay Yay,” and he would always say “What’s up ugly?” He will truly be missed by all of his family and friends.

In addition to his mother “Black” was preceded in death by his daughter, Solei Watson; grandmothers, Mary Frances Watson and Rowena Jones Cropper; and grandfather, Alexandria Brittingham.

“Black” leaves to cherish his love and fond memories: daughters, Zhe’el Watson of Princess Anne, MD and Bre’ajah Kellam of Pocomoke, MD; father, Tommy Watson of Atlantic, VA; brothers, Andre Taylor of Salisbury, MD and Tommy “TJ” Watson of Pocomoke, MD; aunts, Alice (Billy) Laws of Temperanceville, VA, Gloria Mason of Salisbury, MD, Nancy (Lowell) Davis of Assawoman, VA, Deborah (Hamson) Savage of Atlantic, VA, Cleola Smith of Westover, MD, Mayola Matthews of Pocomoke, MD, and Patsy Cropper of Princess Anne, MD; uncles, Darnell (Janice) Watson of Columbia, SC, William Watson of Temperanceville, VA, Stanley Cropper of Princess Anne, MD, Oliver (Louise) Brittingham of Hampton, VA, Linwood Cropper of Philadelphia, PA, and Oscar Cropper, Sr. of Pocomoke, MD; three nieces, Qua-Tasia Watson, Ji’Onyce Watson, and TaKiara Taylor; two nephews, Tyree Thorton and Jordan Watson; and a host of cousins and friends.
