Illya K. Watson

Illya Watson Sr., affectionately known as El, fell asleep in death in the early morning hours of October 15, 2021. He was 54 years old. He was predeceased by his sister Nikisha Watson and his sister-in-law Jeanette Watson. El loved life, and he lived his life the way he wanted. He was a big Philadelphia Eagles fan.

On game days, you could find him surrounded by his sons and friends, beer in hand. He loved spending time with his large family. Whether he was in Albany, Dover, or Philly, it wasn't the location that mattered. It was those with whom he visited that he cared the most for. It was YOU he came to visit! The entire family mourns his passing and welcomes you to celebrate his life with us. 

His viewing will be held on October 28, 2021, from 11-12. The funeral will be held immediately following the viewing at 12 pm. Flower arrangements can be sent to the Hopler and Eschbach 483 Chenango St, Binghamton, NY 13901 (order through website)
