Demetrick Antrell Watson

I was Demetrick's 7th grade language Arts teacher at Westwood Middle school. Day one I tell my students to let me know, Day One, if they have a nickname they would like me to call Them. Demetrick Watson asked to be called KoolAid. I gave him a funny look and thought, I am not going to call any student koolAid. So I affectionately called him Meter.
(Many years later the significance of his chosen nickname, "KoolAid"
was explained to me. This white lady leaned so much that first...

IMMA MISS YA DEE...THE TIMES WHEN I SPENT THE NIGHT AT FEE HOUSE AND YOU WOULD ALWAYS ASK ME, "WHERE YA CROSSWORD BOOK AT SO WE CAN DO IT?" ALSO THAT BIG OL' SMILE YOU WOULD ALWAYS HAVE...I PROMISE TO BE BY WHITNEY'S SIDE WHILE YOU'RE GONE...IMMA MISS YA DEE...TO YOU WHITNEY WATSON AKA LIL CUZZO...KEEP YA HEAD UP AND STAY STRONG BECAUSE DADDY IS ALWAYS WATCHING YOU FROM ABOVE...LOVE YA CUZZO...

He always had a smile whenever and wherever you saw him. In this time of sorrow, I know that he will greet us with that same smile, in the New Jerusalem. May GOD bless and keep you as you grieve for your loved one.

LOVE YOU NIECE JASMINE NICHOLE WATSON

It is written in the King James Bible that a cheerful heart has a continual feast.Proverbs 15:15. That is how I always felt while in Demetrick's presence. Will miss you alot dear friend.

Cuz you will be missed greatly, May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family.

It is with great sadness that I extend my condolences to the family. Demetrick's death is such a great loss to so many people. He was a wonderful young man with great hopes and aspirations for himself and his family. May his spirit live on through the family. God bless you all.
