    LIVESTREAM

    If you are unable to attend, the livestream for Dan Watkins’ Memorial is here.

    You can find Dan’s obituary here.
    In Lieu of Flowers By Dan’s request, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hope Chapel: https://onrealm.org/HopeChapelATX/give/DW or the National Association for the Mentally Ill (NAMI): https://donate.nami.org

    Since Dan and Bonnie were involved in various ministries where Dan was often a quiet presence because of his mental health, they discussed in advance that he preferred his service be limited to family and friends who related to him or Bonnie directly over the years. Please pray for the service to glorify God. Thanks for your understanding.
