Brandon Alan Watters was born on April 30, 1994 to Julie Lovato (Watters) in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Growing up, Brandon had the most beautiful smile as a child – a trait that he carried well into his adulthood. He was always full of life and chose to make the most of every day. There was a smile on his face all the time, no matter what. Brandon had an amazing ability to make friends everywhere he went - he was always willing to be a shoulder to lean on, to offer support to others and would always be cheering on his friends and family. His best friend, Danny, was like a brother to him. Brandon was ‘Uncle B’ to Danny’s kids; a role that Brandon took very serious. Danny and Brandon were always together and they created endless memories throughout the years. Although Brandon never had a child of his own, which he wanted some day, he enjoyed being around everyone else’s kids and they adored him. While working with his Uncle Donny, Brandon learned how to tile bathrooms, and how to install flooring and backsplash. He loved going to work with his favorite Uncle Donny every day. Brandon loved his cars, music, caps, flashy big watches and of course, his shoes! He probably had more tennis shoes than anyone you know. But above all, Brandon’s love for his family and friends was the center of his life. His short presence on this Earth left a deep impact and he will be missed greatly.

Brandon passed away unexpectedly on Friday, October 18, 2024, at the Sanford Luverne Medical Center, in Luverne, Minnesota, as a result of an automobile accident. His beautiful smile and personality will be remembered by those who loved him and had the privilege to call him a friend. 

Brandon is survived by his mother, Julie (Josh) Lovato; his father, Tim; brothers, Kaiden, Orion, Micheal, Jared, Jordon and Gabe; sisters, Lacey, Ashlynn and Sophia; grandparents, Michelle and Rocky Watters, Sue and Denny Davis; great-grandparents, Don and Lois Watters, and Elizabeth Ulin; and numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews who he loved spending time with.


We have no words to describe the loss of our precious Brandon, but we take comfort knowing where he is now, safe in the arms of our Lord until we meet again. He is sharing his beautiful presence and smile in Heaven now. A Celebration of Brandon’s life with friends and family will be announced at a later date.
