 TYLER WATTS Tyler Ray Watts passed away Aug. 19, 2012, following a tragic car accident in Las Vegas. Tyler's life would seem too short to many, but for those who were touched by him, understand that the quality of existence far exceeds quantity of time in which you live it. His gentle smile could melt the hearts of those around him, and his constant kidding, laughter and dedication to life were what kept his family enamored and his friend's list full. Our world was blessed with a smile and never-ending determination of Tyler Oct. 26, 1992, who led us to believe that each day is a blessing and an opportunity to create lasting memories. Tyler's passions included playing all sports. He was incredibly proud of his football accomplishments and motorcycle racing with his cousin, David Watts. For the Watts Racing Team, he chose his number as #712, to reflect his niece's birthday as a proud uncle. Also spending time at the pool with his sister, Danielle Scheeler, and teaching his niece, Blake, to swim. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and being outdoors in White Pine County, attending family celebrations, winning, and weight lifting/body building with his brother-in-law, Justin Scheeler and cousin, Kolton Sampson. With Tyler's unexpected passing we remind others to never forsake your family or friends. Although we will miss him everyday, especially his never ending teasing and his gentle and loving text messages, he will always remain forever in our hearts. Through his teachings about life, we were able to create wonderful memories and it has been an honor and privilege to be his family. Tyler is survived by his loving parents, Danny and Shellie Watts; sister, Danielle (Justin) Scheeler; brothers, Brandon (Tina) Neagle and Austin Watts; grandparents, Buddy and Patty Sampson and George and Nancy Watts; life-long best friend, Aaron Trujillo; aunts and uncles, Scott and Shonna Sampson, Stacey Sampson, Bill and Karen Watts, and Debbie and Claude Lee; niece, Blake Scheeler; beloved dog, Jake; and numerous cousins and countless friends. Our family will be praying the Rosary at 7 p.m., Friday, Aug. 24, at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 900 East 11th Street, Ely, NV 89301. The services for the celebration of Tyler Watts' life will be at 10 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 25, at Sacred Heart. We will lay Tyler to rest at the Ely Cemetery following his services.
