Forrest was my first "Padawan" in that old Star Wars card game. It's how we met. I am still heartbroken about a world without you in it, brother. I can't imagine a time when missing you won't still hurt.

Nothing is the same without you. So many different things, good and bad, have happened to me in the last couple months and I feel lost not being able to share them with you. You'll always be my best friend.

Dear Mark and Frankie, Forrest has been like family at my home. DJ is my son and we spent many evenings, eating and brainstorming over their future. He was always happy with us. I remember his happiness when he became a Manager for a local business. He was so proud of that job and himself. I will always remember him. And I am so sorry for your lost.

I was deeply sadened to hear of the loss of Forrest.
He was a friend of my son , Joey, from high school days.
We always enjoyed seeing him and what a talker !
Forrest did some painting for us a few years ago.
He was eager to please and did a great job.
We lost our daughter a year ago this month .
I imagine they are talking up a storm as some of the newest
angels ! My deepest sympathy to your family.
I will keep you in prayer. Jeannie Ritchie

Mark,
I am devastated. I am so sorry you have to deal with this. I know it was your worst fear. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. You did everything in the world that you could have done. May God give you that peace in your heart.

Sending my love and prayers to my friend, Lanaya, and her family. I can't pretend to understand your pain for your loss of Forrest; rather, I can only hope you find comfort in God as you heal.

Dear the Burnette family,
We are so very sorry to hear of the passing of Forrest. He dated my daughter Melanie for a couple of years and we really enjoyed his company. He was seriously thinking of joining the Marines at that time and would talk to my Dad and husband because they both are former Marines.He always had a big smile on his face and was eager to help when ever we needed it. He will be surely missed. But he is up in heaven with my Dad now and is in excellent hands.Rest in Peace Forrest!
