Jersey Anthony "Bubba" Wattley

Jersey Anthony Wattley, 4 years old, of Dallas GA., known by all who loved him as “Bubba”, left his earthly home and entered into the arms of Jesus on Friday, June 4, 2021, after a two-and-a-half-year battle with cancer. While Jersey’s time on earth was short, he was a true warrior who fought a long and courageous battle. Battling cancer at such a young age made him a strong and courageous young man. Throughout his short life, he faced many obstacles but met each challenge with a level of courage reserved only for the bravest among us. Jersey enjoyed riding his bike, playing on the swing set, and just being outdoors. When he was not enjoying time outside with his sisters, “Bubba” could be found in the lap of his beloved Daddy, whether it was watching television or just napping securely in his father’s arms. Jersey was known for his big personality and his heart full of love for his family and his many caregivers. His beautiful and gentle presence will be forever missed. Jersey is survived by his loving mommy and daddy, Darnell and Angela Wattley of Dallas, GA; older sister, MaKaylon & twin sister Nyla Wattley of Dallas, GA; sister Casey and brothers Eli and Ezra of Rome, GA; paternal grandparents, Henry & Leona Hanna of Kingsland, GA; maternal grandmother, Denise Meeks of Cedartown, GA; maternal grandfather Curry Meeks of Cedartown, GA; and maternal grandfather, Buster Powell of Camden, GA; Godmother, Victoria Berrios; along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, family and friends; birth parents Chelsea Shirey-Cheek and Corey Boyett, birth grandparents and birth aunts, uncles, cousins, family and friends. He is preceded in death by his brother, Christian Wattley & maternal grandmother, Joanie Powell. Visitation will be held on Saturday, June 12, 2021, between the hours of 2:00 – 4:00 PM at Mayes Ward-Dobbins Macland Chapel of Powder Springs. A celebration of Bubba’s life will be held following the visitation at 4 o’clock, with Pastor Mitchell Jolly officiating. Wearing red is encouraged as that was Bubba’s favorite color. Masks will be required for both visitation and the memorial service. The family has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Jersey’s memory to Scottish Rite Hospital at give.choa.org. Arrangements made under the caring guidance of Mayes Ward-Dobbins Funeral Home and Crematory Macland Chapel in Powder Springs (770)943-1511 www.mayeswarddobbins.com
