Budda’s Brotherhood is putting a spotlight on Patrick Watson, a FF/PM with the Oswego Fire Protection District. Patrick was a recipient of a donation from Budda’s Brotherhood when he was battling cancer.

Seeing Patrick at this year’s Oswego Firefighters Annual Softball Tournament makes me smile. Patrick is a true warrior! He has fought and beaten cancer three times. At the 2024 tournament, he had just been released from the hospital after his third relapse. What was the first thing he did? He came to the softball tournament. In 2025 and 2026 he played in the tournament.

To go through three cancer battles and come out on top is amazing in and of itself. But to come out with his big bright smile, his fighting spirit, and positive light is truly inspirational. And that is why you can’t help but smile when you are around him.

Not only did he beat his own cancer battle and return to his job as a firefighter, he now talks with other firefighters going through their own cancer battles and treatments.

Warrior definition: someone who exhibits fierce courage, vigor, or tenacity in facing adversity. You might as well put Patrick’s name on this. ♥️
