Charles Dustin "Dusty" Watts, 42, went home to be with the Lord on July 17, 2026, at Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Dusty was born March 28, 1984, in Chillicothe, Ohio. He was the youngest of four kids and the only boy, with three older sisters. He always made sure everyone knew he was the baby of the family, and his sisters loved him for it. He learned about God when he was young, and he loved Jesus with all his heart. His faith stayed with him through good times and hard times.

Dusty had a big heart. He loved dogs and animals of all kinds. He loved getting tattoos, and each one told a story about who he was and who he loved. More than anything, Dusty loved his family. He just wanted people to see him for who he really was, a man with a good soul and endless love to give. He carried some heavy struggles that not everyone could see. But those struggles never took away the good and loving person he was.

Dusty was preceded in death by his mother, Kyra Brown; his father, Chuck Watts; his sister, Bobbie Deel; his soul brother, Chad Chaney; and his grandmother, Vera Brown. He is with them again now.

He leaves behind his two daughters, Tiana Watts and Tekyra Watts; his son, Landyn; his sisters, Jennifer Oney (Scott) and Joleen Malyk (Joseph); his longtime partner, Laura; his close friend Robert "Bob" Reveal; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles who loved him.

Dusty was loved by so many people, and he will be missed every day. May he rest in peace, finally seen and finally loved.
