Robert John Watts Jr.

1988 - 2015

RJ "The Man" Watts was born on June 29th, 1988 in Torrance, CA. From his birth onward, RJ was loving, selfless, and brought joy to everyone he met. He attended Palos Verdes Peninsula High School. A film buff from the beginning RJ taught himself to read at 3 years old with a computer program so he could understand the titles of his favorite movies he was already collecting on VHS. In later years he spent his days adding to his extensive DVD collection, making confetti, doing research on a variety of topics, and going to Rubio's with Gloria for his favorite food--shrimp burritos on whole wheat with chipotle sauce. One of the ways he described himself was as a 'Super Fan of Super Heroes'. Spider Man and the Avengers were his favorites. He loved animals, rode horses, and wrote heartfelt letters to his family, friends, and favorite celebrities. RJ truly changed people's lives for the better; his love knew no bounds. On October 19th at 2:30 pm after a heroic 5 month battle following a relapse of Hodgkin's Lymphoma RJ passed away peacefully. His final words were, "I'm going home."

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Transitions to Independence program, which RJ enjoyed immensely.
