Brother Ricardo “Rick” Watts, age 63, of Jeffersonton, Virginia, entered Chapter Invisible on October 27, 2025. A proud member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Rick embodied the true spirit of “Achievement in Every Field of Human Endeavor.” His life reflected brotherhood, service, and faith. A graduate of Norfolk State University, Rick served honorably as a U.S. Navy Lieutenant and Public Affairs Officer before continuing his commitment to community as a bail bondsman, mentor, and volunteer. His leadership extended beyond his career—he served faithfully at Antioch Baptist Church and on the Loudoun County YMCA Board, always striving to uplift others with grace, generosity, and good humor.

Brother Watts was an inaugural founding member of the Gainesville-Manassas Alumni Chapter and shared an unbreakable bond with his five line brothers of PerfeKt KonneKtion from the Dulles-Leesburg Alumni Chapter. Known for his magnetic personality, Rick never met a stranger—his warmth, laughter, and light filled every room. He was a devoted husband to Denyse, loving father to Julian and Micah, and proud grandfather to Legacy and Xariah. Rooted in faith, guided by service, and anchored in love, Brother Watts leaves behind a legacy of excellence and brotherhood that will continue to inspire generations of Kappa men.
