Gerald Daniel "Jerry" Forbes

My condolences go out to the family. I worked under his supervision in the Student Svces Department at Arkansas Tech as Secretary to the Dean of Students. He was a quiet and gentle man with a kind heart. He was a dedicated Christian man to his Lord and Savior, and you can rest assured that he is now in the comforting arms of Jesus. I look forward to seeing him again one day in the glories of Heaven! The family is in my prayers.

I was so sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. I was a student at Oklahoma Wesleyan when Jerry was over Student Development. He was always so kind & sincere. It wasn't unusual to see the Forbes family in the dining commons on Sundays after church or at basketball games. My thoughts & prayers are with you all...I know he will be missed!

It was an honor to know and work for Dr. Forbes and an even greater honor to be considered his friend. I will miss him dearly.

You and all the family continue to be in our prayers Nancy!! Wish we could be there this week!! Jerry was like a brother to me, especially in college and after when we both lived in Florida. Too many great memories..., but he always "looked out for me" like a big brother. His commitment to Christ was the greatest quality of them all! Looking forward to reuniting one day!
