Middletown High School students are being asked to wear yellow after Dominic Watkins, 19, a 2018 Monroe High School graduate, died Friday night at Cincinnati Children’s Liberty Campus.
Watkins was a standout athlete until osteosarcoma, a bone cancer, claimed his left leg. He was diagnosed with cancer three times, starting in 2015.
On Nov. 21, 2017 — his 18th birthday — his left leg was amputated to eliminate the chance of the cancer spreading to other organs.
