Forrest Furman Evans

You were an amazing father, step father, husband, and so much more. Sure we had our disagreements and arguments but we still got along. it dosent feel real that your gone and its been almost 2 years. the house feels empty without your humor and laugh. You were a major impact in my life if the time we knew each other. you helped my mom with so much and made her a better person too. i miss you.

I work with state parks in an aisle over from where he worked. He is missed. God bless and be with his family at this time.

I will always reminisce these memories with Dad: maps from interstate rest stations at every state line, Kiptopeke State Park, Lewes Ferry, Cap May NJ, camping in an Atlantic City parking garage, Portland ME, Bar Harbor, Wild Maine blueberry pie and boiled lobster,...

I have many good memories of Forrest beginning when I first met him when he was about 13 years old, a "round" little boy with a great quick smile that was always on his face, and made everyone around him smile. Forrest was curious about everything, and adventurous. I remember the story about his family when they spent time in Nashville, and Forrest disappeared, hopped a train but returned after several hours. That summer, he fell off the garage while working with his father and broke his...
