John Henry Watkins Jr., 89, of Garden City, passed away on Friday, May 5, 2023.

Sleep well young soldier, your job is done
your war is over and your battle won
No armor now to way you down
Cast it off into the sandy ground
Lay down your weapon for you need it not

No more bullets need be shot
Take off your helmet, look to the sky
For my friend it is your turn to die
Have courage now, go rest in peace
For the fighting here will never cease
You fought bravely and with honor died
You leave your family so full of pride
Sleep well young solder, your job is done
your war is over and your battle won
