Dean Joseph Watson

Dean Joseph Watson came into the world on December 21, 1970. He and his mom were snowbound at the Rumford Community Hospital because of one of the most fierce weather happenings at that time. No vehicles could be seen travelling at that time, so Dean and mom were happy to snuggle in a warm and welcoming place!

Dean came home later to a ready-made family of siblings amounting already to 5. Another brother joined the family 3 years later.

Dean was born to parents Rose Marie Boudreau Watson and John Robert Watson. He lost a dear brother David in 1984 when he was 13.

Growing up, Dean was an avid swimmer and fisherman at the family cottage at Roxbury Pond. His Uncle Frank was a steady friend for him and his friends, taking trips to exciting places in Maine. Rabbits and cats were also part of his growing years!

Dean was an excellent football player when he attended school.

Dean was a painter by trade, getting his experience under his Uncle John Ronan & his sons Linwood and John; and Bill Goodwin, also of Rumford.

He was a gentle soul and a giant to everyone he met. He took criticism well from those who chose to humiliate him. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends!

Dean leaves behind his mother and father; sister, Susan Jane Devine & husband John III of South Portland; brothers Daniel L. Watson & wife Kara of Windham, Darren J. Watson & wife Kathy of Kennebunkport, Thomas E. Watson of Limerick, and Timothy R. Watson & companion Michelle Morrison of Sanford; nieces & nephews and many aunts & uncles.

May he find peace in the other place he has gone to this 20th day of August 2016!! Love you, Deano!!
