Patrick Lee "Bulldog" Watts, born on February 13, 1985, in Texas, passed away tragically on July 19, 2025, following a motorcycle accident in Kentucky. His life was marked by both hardship and triumph, and through it all, he remained a fierce, loyal, and loving soul who never gave up.

Bulldog’s journey wasn’t always easy. He faced more than his fair share of challenges, but he met each one with grit, determination, and an unshakable spirit. Life tested him, but he never let it break him. Instead, he used those trials to grow stronger, to love harder, and to live more fully.

Splitting his time between Indiana and Texas, Bulldog found joy in the things that made him feel free—football, rock and roll, and the open road on his Harley-Davidson. He was a proud member of ABATE and a man who believed in community, brotherhood, and standing up for others. His loyalty ran deep, and his presence was a source of strength for those who knew him.

Above all, Bulldog was a devoted father. His daughter, Charlie, was the light of his life, and he was filled with excitement and hope as he prepared to welcome another child with his loving girlfriend, Chelsea "Chuck" Miller. His family was his anchor, and he cherished every moment spent with them.

He is survived by his daughter, Charlie; his girlfriend, Chelsea; his siblings, Desiree Brackett (Wayne), Danika Jackson, Daniel Jones, and Dalton Jones; his father, Patrick Jones; his stepmother, Evelyn Jones; and his grandfather, Loren Pruitt. Bulldogs Texas family includes, adopted father, Gary Watts (Darlene), siblings, Alisha Reeves, Hollie Watts, Meagan Sharp, Sharlot Mort, Franklin Phillips and Cody Watts. He also leaves behind a large extended family of cousins, nieces, nephews, and countless friends who became family.

Patrick was preceded in death by his mother, Teresa Graves; his adopted mother, Candace Martin; and his grandmothers, Honey Pruitt and Darlene Graves. Though he is no longer with us, his legacy of resilience, love, and loyalty will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
