Obituary

Brenden Michael Watkins, known as “Grassy,” 17, passed away due to gun violence on December 25, 2025. He was born in Orlando, Florida at 1:13 p.m. on March 5, 2008, to Jennifer and Trenton Watkins. 

Brenden learned strength, sacrifice, loyalty, and unconditional love. He was a proud, loving son and a protective brother who dreamed of creating a better life for his family. He will be remembered for his smile, loyalty, and deep love for those closest to him. 

Though his time was brief, his spirit lives on through family, friends and memories.

He is survived by his mother Jennifer, father Trenton, brothers Nathaniel and Cayden Watkins; grandparents the Patituce, Traynors, and Watkins; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

    I worked at the juvenile prison where Brenden was. I was the program director of CTE training certifications. Brenden was an AWESOME kid. So respectful. Smart. Passed all the certifications we did together. My heart is broken over his death. I’m so very sorry for his family. If you need anything, please reach out. He was most definitely one of the kids who I spent a lot of time with. He was a cool kid and I’ll never forget him. I pray God gives you peace that only He can. ❤️
