Falken Christopher Forshaw

Falken Christopher Forshaw was born in Gloucester, England in 1941 to Joan Bryan and Richard Forshaw. He felt deep ties to his birthplace throughout his life, even after moving to Spokane, WA at age 8 to be with his mother. Falken was a unique and generous man with a kind hearted soul. Many remember his calm and assuring presence, listening to and encouraging those around him. Usually a man of few words, he would light up when sharing his favorite topic; ancient architecture. As a lifelong meditator he was devoted to integrating Consciousness and Bliss into every part of life, through practicing Transcendental Meditation daily for over 40 years.
He embraced his role as a husband to Susan Jane Russell (b. Colfax, WA), father to children Harper and Avalon, and brother to Penny and James Forshaw. He loved caring for his grandchildren (aka little adorables). He was committed as a true friend and community member, especially in Everett, WA where he lived for 40 years and was integral in preserving the historical character of the city and contributing to the arts community.
Falken was a lifelong scholar and academic who graduated Lewis and Clark HS in Spokane, University of Washington (BA - Architecture), and University of Oregon (PhD, Geography). He studied the Caracol at Chitchen Itza in the Yucatán, traveling there twice to measure its intricate alignments. He became certified in the Vastu practice of architecture in 2014, to fulfill his goal of bringing alignment with Natural Law.
Those of us that knew Falken will take with us his selflessness and ability to enjoy life at a slower pace. In memory of Falken - slow down, take it as it comes, enjoy being in this moment.
