Brandon M. Watson

May 13, 1972 - February 15, 2017

WATSON Brandon M. Brandon Michael Watson is continuing his kayaking adventures in a new and different place after leaving us on Wednesday, February 15, 2017. Born in Akron, Ohio in 1972, he called the greater Toledo area home for the last 10 years. Most recently he was a welder for Faurecia Exhaust Systems,in Toledo where he was a member of UAW Local 12 and Union Representative for C crew. Brandon was always quick with a big smile and a hearty laugh. He answered to many names including Babe, Butch, Brando and "Unc". A graduate of Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy in 1991 and possibly their worst English student ever, Brandon was a voracious reader and loved to read and recite the poems of Walt Whitman and Robert Frost. Brandon took to heart the parable of the Good Samaritan and always tried to help those in need. If you knew him, you know that you'll never meet anyone quite like him again. Words cannot express how much he will be missed. Brandon was preceded in death by his father, Daniel Watson and aunt, Margaret Watson. He is survived by his parents, Patricia Watson and Walter (Tony) Plath (Toledo), aunt, Meredyth Corbett and uncle, Dr. Larry Corbett (Sedona, AZ), cousin, Matthew Corbett (Goshen, IN), aunt,Sherry and husband John Hack (Toledo), brother, Michael Plath and fiancee, Jennifer Hernes (Toledo), his brother, Patrick Watson and sister-in-law Jennifer Watson (Worthington, OH) and nephews, Miles Watson (Bowling Green) and Trevor Watson (Case Western) for whom he was a rock-star. He is also survived by "Auntie Sue" Donovan (Campbell, CA), "Auntie Helen" Compton (Silver Lake, OH) and "Auntie Barb" Wise (Stow, OH). The family will be holding a private memorial service at a later time. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Partners for Clean Streams, Perrysburg, OH. Ansberg-West Funeral Directors, (419) 472-7633.
