I have not seen Forrest since high school, but I vividly remember him. I always respected and admired him. Forrest was a kind, insightful and intelligent person with a winning personality. He always stood out as someone very deserving of the best.

I just fond out about Forrest death. I am so sorry. We were friends, class mates and also shared many laughs and talks. He lived on the floor I lived on at the Creasant Halls apt. He will be greatly missed. My heart felt prayers go out to all the family.

Learning of this loss has made me so sad. I knew Forrest in high school. The picture I carry in my mind is not just a smiling face but eyes full of mischief. It seems there was always something to laugh about and we could silently carry the silliness into class without saying a word. You just couldn't look at each other in class for fear of busting out laughing. I hope his family is comforted by many, many memories of laughter with Forrest.
