Honoring the Life of Jeremy Watson

On June 16th 2025, at the age of 51, my father Jeremy suffered a sudden cardiac arrest on his way home from work. A bystander was kind enough to start CPR on him, and helped participate in getting his pulse back. EMS providers worked him for 17 minutes, and ER staff worked him for another 28. Despite regaining a pulse, he unfortunately suffered an anoxic brain injury which caused swelling and hernation of his brain. Family and medical staff knew he had no chance at survival, and made the difficult decision to take him off life support the following morning.

His life was full of love. He truly lit up every room and had the ability to make any troubling situation better with his sense of humor. He was one of the wittiest people you'll ever meet. He loved making people laugh, and loved sharing his crazy stories.

He was a hard working man, working since he was 14 years old. He provided for his family without a second thought, and without complaining. His family was his whole entire world, and he wanted nothing but the best for each and every one of us. He was a wonderful father and a loving husband that will forever be missed.

Jeremy was a lively man. He loved Metal music and absolutely adored live music and shows. He enjoyed playing video games in his free time, and watching Marvel movies to fall asleep. He loved teaching people all the skills he knew, and sharing his knowledge about the world.

He was a great man, and an even better person. He wanted to give back to the world. He was an organ donor, and had the opportunity to change and save many lives after his passing.

He is survived by his wife Felicia Watson, his three sons Jeremy Watson Jr, Miles Watson, and Isaiah Lord, his daughter Jayden Watson, his mother Candice Jabo, and his sister Shannon Watson.

Our family is struggling during this difficult time and learning to transition into a life without someone we cared so deeply about.

We would love to have a meaningful memorial for him and cremate him, as that is what he wanted. Unfortunately the funds are not available to us at this moment. Please help ease the pain for our family so we can have a lovely memorial for a lovely person.
