Dear Mrs. Watson and Family, Col Watson was a man of valor and wisdom who helped prepare his students as future leaders with excellence of purpose and true humility.
He will be remembered as a beacon of light to those he mentored and will be sorely missed for the positive example he provided and lived during his tenure in our community.
May GOD bless you and know he shall rest in peace in the Mansion of the Lord.

Colonel Watson, you will always be honored and remembered. During my time in JROTC and from all of your help grooming me to be a commander in the Drill team has left a lasting impact on my life. You sir were the inspiration I needed to do my job and to serve our country. Without your guidance and wisdom, hard work and dedication to your students, and the inspiration you set upon the many men and women who went through your JROTC program through the years, I wouldn't be where I am today. I thank you for your service, and as war still rages on in our country, I will do my part in your honor to serve our vets and our wounded soldiers. It is my honor and privilege Colonel. Giving you your final salute, may you forever guard the gates of heaven my friend!

Brian, you were a close and long time friend. I will always remember many worthwhile activities we shared. You received many accolades from friends and others extolling your service to our country in many ways. You were a very dedicated individual who excelled in many endeavors. I am fortunate and proud to have you as a friend. I send my most heartfelt condolences to Jennete and your children . May time and fond rememberances ease the sting of your death. Remember the words in John 3:16 talking about Jesus; Whoever believeth in me will not die but have everlasting life. Rest easily in the arms of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Fairwell good friend. Bob.

Brian was a colleague of mine but also a friend. He earned the respect of students, administrators, and teachers. He gave 100% to his ROTC program and to the students and was always fun to share political views and traveling experiences with. He was a patriot and all of us Americans owe Brian much. May God comfort the family in a way that only He can. I feel privileged to have known him.

I was a ROTC student of Col. Watson. He is one of those teachers that you never forget. Stern and disciplined yet so fun-loving. He was always there with a joke and a smile. He left a lasting impression on my life and I am sure many others. We all share in your loss. Romans 12:15 "Rejoice with them that do rejoice and weep with them that weep."

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. We spent a few years and many good times involved with ROTC. Our son Jeff, will be retiring from the Air Force Reserves this June. He was a great leader that many looked up to him. His leadership is what influenced our son to pursue his career in the Military, and law enforcement. He was highly respected by many. Our prayers are with you during this time. Bev and Bob Lauper
