Daniel Lynn Watson “Sidecar” June 22, 1955 – January 20,2024

Daniel Lynn Watson “Sidecar”, 69, died January20that his home in Bowie, Texas.  Born on June 27, 1955 in SyracuseNew York, he was raised on a strawberry farm byhis grandparents.  He hitchhiked south to Arizona in his 20s where he worked construction for a bit before finally landing here in Texas.

A trucker through-and-through, Daniel took great pride in his career as an accomplished diesel mechanic, earning multiple awards before hitting the road to travel the country. When he wasn’t on the road, he could be found catching wind on his motorcycle, hanging at the clubhouse with his brothers(probably with a beer in his hand), or home   sharing his mechanic skills with his boys, or spending time with the love of his life, Pat.

Daniel spent his retirement days in his backyard shop playing guitar or pool, listening to political podcasts(TRUMP LOVER!!!), caring for his dogs, and having his nightly dinner with his ol’ lady.

Daniel was a unique character.  He was loud, brutally honest, had no filter, and LOVED to talk, even when no one was listening.  He was a steady provider for his family, a loyal friend, and a go-getter.  And NOBODY CAN FORGET THAT LAUGH!!!

He is preceded in death by his grandparents and aunt Melva Martin.  He is survived by his wife Patricia Beach, uncle Bill Martin, step-daughter Donna Adams and husband Robert, twin stepsons Ralph Beach III and Terry Beach and wife Tracy, 6 grandchildren, and numerous great-grandchildren. Also noteworthy are close friends “Uncle John” Kilgore, Daniel Davidson, Kristi Boyd Lepek (official political debate partner), and “Frankenstein”.
