About Wallace Watson

Wallace Watson was a Chemistry student at St Catherine’s at the time of his death in 2001. He loved a challenge and adventure, and if it involved mountains, being somewhere remote or exotic, then even better.

He was someone who embraced life and was constantly seeing how far he could push its boundaries. When he set his mind to anything he would do so with utter determination and yet with a sensitivity to others. His mischievous sense of humour was always present.

‘Wallace was a one-off and, quite simply, larger than life. His enthusiasm for life was infectious… he was comfortable and confident enough in himself to go through life without excluding anyone. He never tried to be anyone different: he believed in himself and knew, with a quiet certainty, what he could achieve.

‘He had no trouble sticking up for what he believed in and people respected him for that… beneath that incredible sense of fun was a steadfast loyalty that shone through those wonderful brown eyes. Wallace is a legend.’
