Paul W. Watkins, Sr., 54, of Cheyenne, died on Sunday, April 2, 2017 at the Davis Hospice Center.
He was born on April 13, 1962 in South Bend, Indiana to Eleanor and Norbert Watkins.
As a child, the family moved to Colorado. Paul had worked many jobs as a farm hand, oil field worker, construction worker, heavy equipment operator, and truck driver. Paul loved Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
In the late 1990’s, he met his soulmate, settled down, and made a home in Wyoming. Family and friends were important to him and he would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.
He is survived by his soul mate and partner of 24 years, Christine Gemmell; three children, Norbert Watkins, Jennifer Westerfield of Phoenix, Arizona, and Paul W. Watkins, Jr.; two stepdaughters that he raised since children, September Aitken and Julie DeKov of Cheyenne, Wyoming; four brothers; two sisters; and seven grandchildren.
