I just heard the news today of your fathers passing, my deepest sympathy goes out to you and your entire family, I am sorry for your loss. May God Bless You!

Dear all:

I just heard the news, so I'm sorry I couldn't contact you sooner. Forrest was a good friend and the news really took me by surprise. I wish I could've been with you all.


I'll always remember him, like that superbolw sunday when he fell from the stairs just before the game started and hurt his back but didn't say a word until the game was over, or the trip to Las Vegas for that prime rib he told me so much about. He didn't talk too much, but you knew he had...

Abish,Cory,Charlie,Erica,Paul and grandchildren, My heart goes out to you. Forrest will be missed more than he could know. He and I were particularly close for most of his life.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all who knew, loved, and grieve
the loss of Forrest; He is my Uncle.
The greater of my memories where our Family Reunions and Family Christmas Parties each year during my childhood.
He always had a good heart and a wonderful smile.
A great man, my Uncle Forrest.
My love, thoughts and prayers will be with all the family.
He will be missed;

UTA, has lost a golden voice, driver and supervisor. He will be missed by all those who knew him.

I am sorry to hear of his passing, our prays are with his family at this time.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said; “Friends will come and friends will go but only true friends will leave their footprints in your heart forever.”

I first meet Forrest when I was a year old, he was 3 years old. Forrest and my uncle were best friends living just across the street from each other in Dugway, his older sister and my mother was good friends. One day Forrest came over to play and off we went playing our favorite game of cops and robbers, funny thing I was always the robber...

Dear Abish, Cory, Charlie, Erica and Paul,

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Forrest was so dear to all of us, that it will be difficult to be without him, but we will be able to have the comfort of the Holy Ghost to help us through this difficult time. I love all of you, and I am so glad that I had the opportunity to see all of you and feel of your love for me, each other, and for your husband and father. Know that I love each of you so much, and will always remember the times...

Dear Abish, Cory, Charlie, Erica and Paul,

I am so very sorry for the loss you have experienced. I pray you will receive all the comfort the Spirit of the Lord can give, and that healing will come, leaving all the good memories foremost in your hearts.

Blessings,
Jennifer (Riggs) McMurtrie
