To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Jerry,
(I am taking as much space as I want 'cause there is alot of pages!)
I will always remember how you would get so excited about life and what your dreams were. We had so many talks about your card collection, Your anticipation to make your family financially secure, Your love for your family and remember your smile and laughter as if we can still see you here. We loved the times when we would go out to dinner with you and Angie (favorite.. mexican in east bay), Go to your house and crash to a movie, Wake up and watch you and Jason play Basketball around the corner, Go to your garage and you show us how everything you have works and teaching us new things all the time. To watch you get so excited about life and how you were going to get your family through... You have the biggest heart we have encountered. you would have so many great ideas for our business and saw our struggles and would lift us up with your enthusiasm. You were always so giving (especially you heart) and there for us! I especially remember how much your kids love you..(flashing back in the youngin' days).. Cody, Trevor and Haley Watts! and how much you LOVED them! Always had a bunch of toys outside including a basketball hoop.. Anything you could ride as a kid, and a playground around to make sure they had their fun! no matter how rough times got, you would find a way to take care of your family and friends around you! Any way you could help, you would find a way. Haley would follow you around and sit on your lap everywhere we went around the house! She was daddy's girl! Trevor would be the tough part of you.. He was a buff lil' guy with all the moves showing us how to do some kicks and flips! Cody was the brains.. soaking in all your great ideas and thinking smart! They have all now turned into beautiful, Powerful spirits! Still screaming out a Jerry's fatherness in them! You have touched everyone around you. We all have problems, And you were a great listener to both Jason and I.. Never taking sides but giving your best insight! I couldn't just call you a friend.. You have truthfully been a real Brother.. through good and through bad, through fun times and hard times.. ALWAYS were there with faith in your heart and a whole lot of spirit. I pray you can feel all the love everyone has for you. You will never be forgotten and changed so many people in so many ways! We love you with all our hearts and will still always be there!!! Can't wait to get to know lil' J.J.... Jerry(ald) Lee Watts Jr.!! He has your eyes and will be another part of you.. He could be the next NBA player in you or something!! You really have put your legacy in this world and everyone who you loved and love you will definaltey keep the lesson you tought us about life with us forever! We know you are so happy right now and feel the love everyone is showing you! Thank you for being genuine and open minded! ..such a good friend.. (Brother). We loved how you would find us wherever we were on the road and either come visit, or find our new #! (and like-wise!) Lesson we learned together was materials are just materials! Friends and being real with yourself with friends is priceless! No judgements, No true grudges, Just lessons and understanding with a whole lot of forgiveness! Your enthusiasm and spirit can light up a room!.. well, in reality, light up a whole lot of lives! We are SO thankful to have been so spiritually touched by you! We will always keep you with us everywhere we go and know you are in a better place! (have years more of good stories.. Maybe later!) With all our love for you and your (our adopted SLC) family!,
Jason and Rachel Shuffler (or) uncle Jason and Aunt Rachel!!

I didn't really know Jerry that well, but I knew his brother, Ryan, very well. My sincere condolences go to the family at this time. Jerry was much to young to depart from this world. The Watts family is in my thoughts at this time of great sorrow...
