Randy Watson Obituary
Born in Westerly, he attended local schools and was a 2000 graduate from Westerly High School. He was a lifetime resident of Westerly until his recent move to New London in May of 2013.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his sister and caregiver, Coral Watson of New London; brother, Scott Watson of Pawcatuck; half sister, Diahann Potrebanko of Canada; paternal grandmother, Alice Watson of Mystic; his aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and especially his nephew Jayden, whom he shared his home with; and several close friends, including Steven Thomas, Lynne Massett, and Amanda Douton, who all showed him and his family their unconditional love and support.
He was predeceased by maternal grandparents, Frances and Manuel Mederios of Stonington; and paternal grandfather, Hubert James Watson of Mystic.
His entire family will cherish all of the memories they had with Randy and he will be deeply missed. His strength and courage facing this disease was nothing short of amazing. An active member of Planet Fitness even in his weakest moments, his humor, generosity, and knowledge of nutrition that he practiced religiously was an inspiration to all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
A special thank you to Center for Hospice Care Southeastern Connecticut for all of their assistance in Randy's journey, and Pendleton Health and Rehab for allowing his sister, Coral, the time necessary to care for him in his time of need.
His family will receive friends from 3 to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2013, followed by a service at 4 p.m., at the Mystic Funeral Home, Route 1 (51 Williams Ave.), Mystic. His burial will be private.

RIP Randy, may you find Heaven is far more beautiful than you could imagine. Coral, you are such a wonderful sister. He was so lucky to have you to care for him the way that you did. It takes a lot of strength and courage to do what you have done. Auntie Brenda, I cannot imagine the pain that you are in right now. I hope that you can rest assured that he is in a better place and is no longer suffering. I love you all XOXO
