SFC Watson was an excellent mentor who imparted his wisdom selflessly with those he taught and inspired cadets he mentored to give it their all in whatever they did. He is missed.

Brad Watson was not just an amazing NCO and leader, but was a good friend and fellow Raider as well. You will be missed Sergeant Watson. RIP.

SFC Watson was a great motivator. He taught many cadets to never give up and push forward in spite of the odds. I have fond memories of morning PT road runs with him yelling encouragement from behind. Many were inspired by his excellent leadership and Hooah attitude. He is dearly missed and we are praying for his family.

My deepest condolences. Brad was an outstanding leader and friend. I am a better person for having had the good fortune of spending time with this incredible human being. The Army is a better organization, and the world is a better place for the contributions Brad made, and the impact he had on them. He will be dearly missed.

Easily one of the nicest guys I have ever known. Fantastic leader who loved his Soldiers. I had the privilege of being his platoon sergeant when we went into Baghdad in 2003. Rest easy Brad, the world is a lesser place without you in it.
