Andrew Ord Drew Watson

Andrew "Drew" Watson is survived by his wife of 24 years, Bridgette and his son, Tristan Ord, both of San Antonio, Texas; mother, Virginia Watson of San Antonio, Texas; sister, Leigh Watson of Raleigh, North Carolina; and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and friends. Drew was preceded in death by his father, Reginald Edward Watson, Jr.

Drew was a devoted husband and father, who never wavered in his loyalty. All who know him describe him as a "gentle giant", the kind of man that would do anything for someone he cared for. He was deeply loved by everyone he touched and amassed an enormous cadre of friends. One friend may have described Drew perfectly, saying, "He was perhaps the best of us."

He was passionate about sports, especially football, and passed that passion on to his son, Tristan, who plays for the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado.

Drew's loyalty extended beyond family and friends: he spent his entire career --27 years -- at West & West attorneys as a legal assistant.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, February 27, 2016, 2pm at Vertical Church, 4218 Thousand Oaks in the Arise Building, reception immediately following. All friends and loved ones are welcome to attend.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to The Seal Legacy Foundation, www.seallegacy.org.
