◐ Partly true
“Rob Watson, longtime CEO of decorated apparel supplier Vantage Apparel, remembered following his passing”
Copied
Rob Watson's death and Vantage Apparel's remembrance are directly confirmed: the source reports the company "announces the sudden passing of its CEO Rob Watson" and that colleagues "took to social media to express condolences, share stories, and remember their friend." However, the source does not support "longtime CEO" — its related-content listing points to "Rob Watson Returns to Vantage Apparel as New CEO," indicating a recent return to the CEO role rather than a long continuous tenure. The claim is therefore accurate except for that unsupported qualifier.
