Mark Lewis Watson

Mark Lewis Watson, 61 years old, passed away at his home on December 31, 2020. He was born to Russell and Nancy Watson, in San Bernardino, California on March 23, 1959. He married Susan Lynn Seager on October 4, 2007.

Mark was a strong man.  He always worked on his strength, and he always pushed to keep the strength he had. He was a veteran, serving 18 years.  Some of his accomplishments were teaching others what to do for survival and how to stay alive in different climates, should it be desert, jungle, or icy cold terrain.  He taught classes to pilots or those who were at risk of becoming a POW so they knew how to help themselves.  Most of these classes required going through the course first to experience what you are teaching.  His official title was Life Support Staff Sergeant.

He had many hobbies.  He loved the dogs we had. He enjoyed cutting stones for people to make jewelry or other things.  He loved to paint with oil paint – he painted beautiful pictures and he did it with no help.  He didn’t need to trace or write something to paint.  He was blessed with a talent.  He loved to read and study.  He made a goal to always try to help someone in need every day.

He is survived by his wife Susan; his little dog Max, who was very special to him; his sister Pam, brother Chris; and his 3 children Bergandy, Johnathan, and Samantha from his first marriage.  He is survived by 10 grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother.

Mark requested cremation and no funeral but there will be military honors, at a later time.

Mark was loved by anyone that took the time to get to know him.  If someone needed help, he would do his best to help them out.

Mark will be missed by his wife and dog Max.  He will be missed by family members, and friends.  Mark was one of a kind.  He did his best to be friendly and helpful.  He will be greatly missed.

    What a great tribute you wrote Susan. We are sorry for your loss, and hope you can find peace at this challenging time. We are thinking about you and praying for you. One of the things that really stands out to me about Mark was his love for his country. He was willing to sacrifice so much to protect it. We love you!

    Forgiveness compassion humility and unconditional love these are qualities I learned from my brother Mark my heart is heavy now in his passing as he will no longer be with me but I am comforted knowing that he is on a new journey in the arms of our Savior and reunited with our parents and other family now free from earthly sorrow both mental and physical in our last few conversations his concerns were for his wife Susie that he loved and cherished so very much my life is better knowing that I had such a wonderful man to call my brother words cannot express the heaviness In my heart. I love you Mark . I am grateful I was privileged to be your sister Susie my dear sister know I am always here for you and love you God be with you till we meet again my beloved brother
