Two years late. I'll pray for his 3 boys and all; two sons now in high school, and one in middle school, Savanah, GA area with their great-grandfather Charles (C.H.) Forrest, and Kristie (Scott's sister), Scott's/Kristie's mom, and Danella their stepmom (we learned of Scott's passing when a FB page member asked about him and his granddad, but someone said Scott had passed in 2013 and his first wife passed in 2011, so young! We posted obit today where he had attended church in 90's, Ft Worth, TX (Dallas area), also his was grandparents' church, Christian Temple Church (Public Group) on Facebook. Prayers and the best!

I just saw this post today on Facebook and my heart is so sad. I was one of Scott's teachers at TBI and loved him dearly. Over the years, I have wondered where he was and even asked others on several occasions, but had never reconnected with him. Wish I could have told him that I thought he had become a wonderful man. His smile, his love for God and his never wavering optimism was contagious. He had the heart of a servant and was a joy to be around, all the time! My prayers go out for his family, especially his wife and boys. I hope that will always remember what a special daddy they have.

As many others here, my wife and I also attended T.B.I with Scott. A very sincere, humbled and courageous man of God. I pray for comfort and strength to the entire Forrest family.

Scott used to come in the Doghouse in Travelers Rest, SC for lunch when I worked there. I told him about Texas Bible Institute and never knew he actually went until summer camp the following year. He was a hard worker, always kind to others and eager to share his faith. I'm very sorry for his wife and 3 boys. I pray they grow up to be like the man I knew.

Scott was an unbelievable man! His love for God stood out amongst the rest and he had the ability to make you smile and laugh at a moments notice. I am honored to have known him and love to see that he lives on through his wonderful family and legacy.

Scott and I were classmates at T.B.I. He was a kind man and a servant to all of his classmates. I loved hanging with and doing ministry with Scott. My heart grieves with all that feel this loss. My prayers for comfort will be with his wife and kids.

I knew Scott in Savannah Ga for years and also when he came to Greenville SC for a while. I saw the positive change in him when he was saved. I was floored when i learned of his passing. He was a good guy. And there are not many anymore. I pray for his 3 boys.
