Funeral services celebrating the life of Brandon Courtney Watson were held at noon, on Tuesday, October 31, 2017, at the Pentecostals of Alexandria, G. A. Mangun Center, with Reverends Eric Bolenbaucher and Mike Wedgeworth officiating and words of comfort given by Sister Vesta Mangun. Burial followed in Alexandria Memorial Gardens, Woodworth, under the direction of Hixson Brothers, Alexandria.
Visitation was observed at the church on Monday, October 30, from 5-8 and resumed on Tuesday from 11:00 a.m. until time of service.
Brandon was born on May 12, 1982 in Alexandria and passed away in Houston, Texas, Sunday, October 22, 2017, at the age of 35.
He lived his 35 years in Alexandria, Texas City, Dallas, Mexico City and Houston, all of which he had revisited in his final months. Brandon loved singing and music, which inspired him to play the saxophone and take piano lessons for many years. He also had a love for other cultures and languages: Spanish, French, Portuguese, and had recently been studying Hebrew. He knew no strangers and loved to talk (A LOT). His trademark laugh, better described as a cackle, was one you would hear throughout the whole restaurant and usually got a few glances, but is now one of the things his family will miss the most about him. Brandon had many vices and struggled throughout life, but his family loved him unconditionally, and will always treasure those last good times they got to spend with him.
Brandon is preceded in death by his great grandmother, Mary E. McKnight, affectionately known as “Big Mama” by all of her grandchildren and grandfather, Herschel Pete “Paw Paw” Bittner.
He is survived by his father, Charles Eugene Watson; mother, Angelynn Renee Watson; sister, Sarah Eugenia Watson; brother, Stephen Kelley Watson; grandmother, Ophelia McKnight “Maw Maw” Bittner and numerous relatives and beloved friends.
Special Thanks to Uncle Jeff and Aunt Becky Wilson, who spent time helping him his last few weeks in Alexandria.
