Dennis Barton Watson, 77 of Seattle, went home to our Savior, Jesus Christ on November 27, 2024. He was born on March 22, 1947 in Spokane, Washington. He served in the US Air Force from 1966 to 1970 as a Sargent Sentry Dog Handler during the Vietnam war. Dennis married Margery Edgemon on May 11, 1974 and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this past May. He is survived by his wife Margery, and his 3 children, Deona, Kristina and Bryan and 4 grandchildren, Madelyn, Oliver, Wyatt and Liam. He is also survived by his sisters Janet, Kathy, and Sue and his brother Mike.
Early in his career he worked as an administrator for about 11 years at Northwest Teen Challenge drug rehabilitation. He really enjoyed that work and seeing people turn their lives around. He worked at various jobs such as Nordstom Catering, Womack Ministries, and Red Dot and retired from Boeing after 16 years.
He raised his kids in his childhood home and they all graduated from his Alma mater, Nathan Hale High School where he was the first graduating class.
Anytime we see classic cars, hear the Beatles or eat mom’s enchiladas we will have fond memories of Dennis.
A short military service is planned for Tuesday, December 10 at 12:30 at Tahoma National Cemetery, located at 18600 SE 240th Street in Kent, WA.

I remember Dennis from his involvement with Teen Challenge. He was a truly good man, and touched many lives. Go in peace, Dennis. You will be missed, but always remembered.
Dennis and I worked together when I served as Executive Director of Northwest Teen Challenge. Then Dennis and Margorie worked closely with us at Womack Ministries for a time as we developed a program called, “Harvest Workers Institute”. Wonderful, dedicated, loving people.
Dennis was my brother who was 4 yrs older than I was. We both went to Kings Garden Christian School and rode the bus to and from school for 5 years. We were raised in Lake City where are Grandparents lived and all our Aunts and Uncles. Dennis and I talked a lot about our childhood and how lucky we were to have it all. Dennis was not only my Brother but my childhood best friend. Miss you already Dear Brother 🫶🏼
