Bradley Jay Watson, 68, of Rigby, died December 30, 2024, at Idaho Falls Community Hospital of natural causes.

He was born October 4, 1956, in Scotia, California to William Ralph and Meridith Ann Henderson Watson. His family moved to St. Anthony, Idaho when he was a young child. He attended schools in St. Anthony and finished his schooling at South Fremont High School.

After high school he was married for a short time. Two children were born to this union. He married Jody Wuthrick on March 31, 1978, in St. Anthony. Four children were born to this marriage. Brad and Jody raised their family in Teton City, Idaho.

Brad was a jack-of-all trades. He enjoyed all of the jobs that he had. He was happiest when he was “the Boss”. He loved logging and driving logging trucks. He was a carpenter and built many homes, including his own.

He was a woodworker and made furniture like china cabinets and coffee tables. He loved to fish, hunt, camp, and ride four wheelers. Best of all he loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.
