Andrew Watts Obituary
June 13, 2000 - June 20, 2025
Andrew was born on June 13, 2000, in Grayling Michigan, passed away suddenly at his home in Cedar Springs on June 20, 2025.
He is survived by his loving parents, Dean and Rebecca (Watts) DeCanter; his grandparents Allen and Deborah Watts, Steven and Christine DeCanter, and Vince VanOrder; his sister Kayli (DeCanter) and Warren Armock; his brothers Kevin DeCanter and Alyssa DeBoer, and Gage Eldridge; and his cherished niece and nephew, MaKenna and Brody Armock.
Andrew was also blessed with a large extended family, including numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.
He was preceded in death by his great-grandmother Lois DeCanter, his grandmother Melvina (VanOrder), and his uncle Jr. Watts.
Andrew had a deep love for the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, fishing, and simply being in nature. He loved spending time with family and friends and was affectionately known as the "fun uncle"-never outgrowing the joy of getting down on the floor to play with MaKenna and Brody.
A celebration of Andrew's life will be held at a later date.

Dearest Becky Dean and family
I never had the pleasure to meet your wonderful son, Andrew.
My heart grieves for you all. I heard of Andrew's passing while camping in the Keweenaw and said a prayer for Andrew and the family at Bond Falls.

Was a joy to talk to him when I was around. Did not get to see him this year. Will always miss our conversations.

I enjoyed watching Andrew grow in photos through the years. I´m sorry I didn´t meet you in person Andrew, until last year when you came to share in the passing of your Grandma VanOrder. I look foreward to getting to know you better in the future.
Love, Aunt Lisa

Andrew spent two weeks with me this past January to help me with a few projects. We ended up getting snowed in and and then below freezing temps!! No work got done but I enjoyed having him here. Auntie loves you so very much! You will always have a special place in my heart!!
