Stevenson & Sons Funeral Home
Ryan Joseph Watts, "Rhino", "Ry Guy", "Sam", "Wuzza", "Wattsy", and "Fridge", departed for a tee-time in Heaven on January 23rd, 2015, surrounded by loved ones at Porter Adventist Hospital, in Denver CO, due to organ failure onset by virus, to a battle tattered body which had previously persevered through two kidney transplants and multiple medical complications.
His body on earth just couldn't take any more.
Ryan entered into this world on January 27th, 1979, in Miles City, MT.
He was raised on the family farm, and attended school in Terry, MT; Fort Collins, CO, and graduated from Custer County District High School in 1997.
He was a member of the Cowboy golf team, played baseball for the Miles City Mavericks, and had started working part time for his father, Ron, at Watts Insurance, at the age of 14.
Ryan went on to attend college at MCC, and spent some time working on the Weyerbacher Farm in Kinsey. In 2001 he obtained his insurance license and partnered with his father, forming Watts Insurance Inc., for Montana Farmers Union Insurance. Later, that corporation was expanded with a second office, and partner, brother Blayne. Their team was just recognized as agency of the year for 2014.
In May of 2002, Ryan married his soul mate, Beth Adams, and became a father of two beautiful girls, Avi Lane, and Halli Rayn. Ryan's family was his pride and joy, and he never hesitated sharing his life experiences with them.
Ryan was very active in the community, and never hesitated to give back. He became an American Legion Umpire, and served on many boards: Miles City Legion Baseball Association, Community 1st Federal Credit Union, Milestown Community Improvements Inc, and the Miles City Town & Country Club. He also was a dedicated member of the "Chain Gang" for Custer County Football.
Ryan was an avid golfer, hunter, gambler, bowler, and a huge sports enthusiast. Competition was in every aspect of his life. Not only did he compete, but he was very successful. He was continuously one of the lowest handicapped golfers at the local club, winning multiple tournaments and awards.
He bowled his first seven hundred series at the age of seventeen, and recently accomplished the perfect game of "300!" He loved "Da-Bears", and was easy to spot on the golf course in his navy and orange, Chicago Bears cart. He never got the elusive "hole in one", but usually had a picture on his phone to show you how close he had gotten to the pin his last time out.
A rare breed, passionate about competition, but a man with no enemies. He could beat you down on the golf course, and take all of your money at the poker table, but do it in a fashion where you still wanted to give him a hug after competing. Sportsmanship at its best. Always a smile on his face, a joke to be told, and a laugh to be shared. A true ambassador for life.
Ryan was a dad, son, brother, cousin, nephew, grandson, in-law, and friend to all. Ryan was loved and survived by many. His wife, Beth Adams Watts; daughters Avi Lane Hager and Halli Rayn Watts; father and step-mother Ron J Watts and Connie Earley Watts; Mother Carolyn Rost Kimball; his mothers and fathers in law Bob (Lynn) Stephenson and Tom (Terry) Adams; brother and his bride, Blayne J Watts and Becky Jill Dornfeld Watts; sister and her fiancé, Skye Ann Watts and Wacy Arndt; Kidney brother and best friend, Brian Hubbell; Step-Father Jerry Kimball; Step-Siblings Danny Kimball, Keli Kimball Anderson, Courtney Kimball Morris, Julia Kinzler , Jill Kinzler French, Philip Earley, and their families. His sisters-in-law, Kim Adams Schneidt and her husband Dustin Schneidt, Julie Adams and her boyfriend Chris Setera , His nephews, Trevor J Watts, Torrey Ryan Watts (and God-Son), Jacksen Watts, and nieces Jenna McKenzie Watts, Teigan Schneidt and Arden Schneidt. He is also survived by many aunts and uncles, Alice and Rick Hill, Beverly Watts Ostermiller and Gary Ostermiller, Barbara Watts Finneman and Thomas Finneman, Debra Watts Sloan and Pat Sloan, Bruce and Anne Rost, John and Chris Rost, and Lucinda Rost, God-Father Mick Weist, and Kirk Michels. Ryan is survived by his many loving cousins: Jeff Hill, Roxie Smith Schwartz, Joni Hill Singleton, Brent Smith, Kami Finneman Doughty, Jason Smith, Jennifer Myran Warden, Lonnye Finneman, Jana Sloan Ward, Casey Rost, Jaci Sloan Robinson, Chad Tims, Jarin Sloan, Alyssa Tims, Jason Rost and their spouses and children. He is survived by grandparents: Shirley Myran Watts, Patricia Rost Kloberdanz and Frank Kloberdanz.
He also is survived by God-Daughter, Maddisen Hill, and numerous other friends and extended family.
Ryan is met at the gates of Heaven by his grandfathers, Homer J Watts, Jack Rost, and Scotty Taft Mitchell; his niece, Payten Ashley Watts; his aunt and God-Mother Connie Rost Michels, cousin, Randy "Rando" Schwartz, and business partner, Ed Kennedy. His trusty companion "Dusty" headed out just recently, and we're sure he's wagging his tail, waiting for his buddy to arrive.
Visitation will be held on Wednesday, January 28, 2015 at Stevenson & Sons Funeral Home in Miles City with family receiving friends from 4:00-6:00 p.m. Funeral services will be on Thursday, January 29, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at the MCC Kailey Gymnasium.
Interment will follow in the Custer County Cemetery.
