Dustin "Dusty" Watson

March 6, 1972 – November 14, 2025

Dustin "Dusty" Watson, 53, passed away on November 14, 2025. Born on March 6, 1972, in Salt Lake City, Utah, Dusty was a man known for his big heart, his steady loyalty to those he loved, and the simple joys that made his life full.

Dusty is survived by his children Wesley (Estee) Watson, Eric (Beth) Watson, and his beloved daughter Jerika Watson, who was the greatest joy of his life. He was a proud grandfather to Maible, Maverick, Braxton, Kayla, and Sophy, each of whom brought him immense joy. He is also survived by his parents, Trudy and Terry Watson; his sister, Mindy (Ron) Brooks; and his nieces and nephews Brayden, Calub, and Kristi. He is preceded in death by his brother, Matthew Watson, whom he now joins in peace.

Dusty had a passion for riding his motorcycle, finding freedom and calm on the open road. He also had a well-known love for Coca-Cola, proudly building a collection that reflected his fun and spirited personality. But above all, Dusty's truest happiness came from being a father-especially to his "baby girl" Jerika, whom he cherished beyond measure.

The funeral service will begin at 11:00 a.m., followed by a luncheon. Everyone is invited to proceed to the cemetery for burial at 2:00 p.m.

Dusty will be deeply missed and forever loved by all who knew him.
