Anthony Paul Watson

Anthony Paul Watson, born in December 1979 in Indiana, passed away on July 24, 2025, in his home state. He leaves behind a legacy of brilliance, boldness and unforgettable energy.

Anthony was deeply intelligent, meticulous and always two steps ahead, especially at the poker table. He wasn’t there to charm, he was there to win. A true shark, he read cards better than the people who held them and played the game with steely insight that left opponents stunned.

Beyond the table, Anthony’s world revolved around tech and gaming. He repaired personal computers with surgical precision and found clever ways to turn video game currency into real-world earnings, blending passion with hustle few could match.

He worked for his Aunt Sis, hitting the road and mastering the art of sales across the United States. His travels allowed him to explore different places and meet new people, all while working with determination and skill. And he had a gift for selling that was simply unmatched. Some say, “He could sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves.”

Anthony Paul Watson was preceded in death by his father Ricki Paul Watson, his mother Kimberly Ann Handy and his brother Adam Keith Handy-Spry. Their memories remained close to his heart throughout his life.

He is survived by his brothers Eric, Tobon, Ian and Myles whom he loved deeply.

A celebration of Anthony’s life will be held on Saturday August 9 at 12:00 PM at the home of his brother Eric in Knox, IN. Family, friends and anyone touched by his remarkable presence are invited to attend. For more information, feel free to reach out to one of his brothers.

Anthony will be remembered for his sharp mind, unforgettable personality and the unmistakable impact he had on those lucky enough to know him.
