Troy Clyde Watts

A life well lived, Troy Clyde Watts, Jr., Age 79, passed away at Maple Leaf Health Care on November 16, 2021. Troy was the son of T. Clyde Sr. and Agnes Watts of Taylorsville, NC.
He graduated from Taylorsville High School then studied at Appalachian State University. His work career was with Broyhill Furniture and Clayton Marcus. He served our country in the US Army.
As a young man he grew up on a farm so when the parents passed, he became a full-time farmer raising Black Angus Cows. Yearling calves were often shipped to several large out of state beef cattle farms. Troy became very active in the county and state Black Angus Association. He also enjoyed touring out of state farms to see and learn new farm equipment capabilities and new farm techniques.
His days were filled with farming from early mornings to late nights. Troy always enjoyed growing a big garden and selling and donating produce to family, neighbors, and friends.
Farming was his passion, and that passion was a calling!
Survivors include his three sisters, Amelia Watts, Pantha Fox (Bill) and Louise Watts; his daughter Tonya Watts Severt. His precious nieces are Dr. Ashley Mays of Louisiana and Aleia Fox. Nephew Brian Fox (Rhonda) and a number of great nieces and nephews.
