Brad Watson Obituary
Renowned for his humor, Brad had an unmatched talent for lightening any moment. His love for the finer things in life was outmatched by his passion for hunting and bass fishing, where his expertise and knowledge shone brightly.
A quick learner, Brad could converse on a wide range of topics, from agriculture to medicine, reflecting his diverse interests and intellectual curiosity. This trait also empowered him to navigate his medical journey with informed advocacy.
As the founder and President of BioSage, Brad's entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to the medical industry were evident. His approach to life, marked by positivity and meticulousness, inspired those around him.
Brad's legacy extends beyond his professional achievements to the vast network of friendships he nurtured. His resilience and optimism, even in the face of adversity, remain a guiding light to all who knew him.
A special thank you to Dr. Brian Berryman at Baylor Scott & White for his unwavering care of Brad.
He is survived by his loving wife and true partner Jessica Watson, his mother Robbie Watson Raphael, sister Dr. Mary Collings (Eric Bailey), brother Luke Watson.

Brenda and I are just so heartbroken to hear that Brad has passed... Our condolences to you, Jess. The obituary described Brad so well. I have a new rod and reel and remember him telling me what brands to consider - he was an equipment guy - and I have very fond memories of working with him, driving to different hospitals, fishing and shooting guns with him. He was indeed a smart guy, very fun and could sing country as well as he could rap music. (you learn a lot about people when you spend time with them in the car). Jess is such a great person and caring and we saw it first hand when she cared for my niece's son. Two beautiful people and our prayers go out to you and Brad's family. I'm posting a picture with brad and me and my sister-in-law from a medical conference dinner.
