Forrest was devoted to his faith and he shared that with everyone he met. He was loving, kind, and all things good. Forrest believed his purpose, that everyone's purpose was to care for one another the way God intended us to do. He proudly joined the Knights of Columbus a few years back and felt such great honor to protect the Catholic faith.
My husband's love and devotion somewhat mirrored that of St Joseph. He took my family in when we met 23 years ago and loved us all unconditionally.
He was actually praying the St Joseph Novena when God called him home; the Saint he most thought himself to be like.
This also happens to be his favorite season and could've lived Christmas every day. Now, he actually gets to do that and can celebrate it in ways more glorious that we can here.
Forrest's love for God, Blessed Mary, and the Saints was evident in the fact that he never went without his prayer cards or the rosary around his neck, and led the life of a humble servant.
We will miss him terribly and are consoled by the fact that we will see him again. He had fulfilled his purpose and is now able to rest and rejoice in Gods eternal embrace.

Forrest was a steady hand at work and always gave great life and career advice. No matter the pressure we faced together we always found a way to laugh, smile, and have each others back. Forrest spent countless hours making me better, always preparing me for what comes next. He will be greatly missed.

I had the pleasure of working with Forrest through a partnership between Optum Rx and Farm Bureau. He was always so kind and helpful with any needs we identified. I will remember him the most for his wonderful “radio announcer” voice . He will truly be missed by all of us at Farm Bureau. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers . Dr. Cathy Stallworth

I never met Forrest and only knew his beautiful wife a short time at work. One of the best things about social media I got to enjoy all the great post of their love story! I always smiled at them and how happy they both were all the time. So sorry for such a big loss

John and I met Forrest over 20 years ago, when he was dating Jeanne. He helped me years ago with my resume and was always positive and uplifting when you talked to him. He had a great sense of humor and wit about him. He was a genuine friend and would help others in need. He will be missed by so many people who had the chance to meet him. My prayers to Jeanne and family

I got to know Forrest over the past few years at work and last spoke with him the afternoon of Fri Nov 17. Although we worked on serious matters, he would always have funny comments behind the scenes that made me laugh out loud. He was a kind and funny man and I’m so happy that I got to know him.
Jeanne sending you so many hugs and love ❤️

I will always remember and love Forrest for how he took care of my mother (his mother-in-law). He was there for her every day. He was the rock of his family and I truly admired him for it. We teased each other constantly about our sports teams…he always had a funny comment when my Cowboys lost. I’ll miss you my brother…now you can take care of mom on the other side.

This is my profile pic on everything and Forrest took it of me in the Hartford office because he said I looked like I had a drink in my hand in my previous profile pic…I thought I cropped it out…he’s like I can literally see the drink in your hand. Joy, and rolled his eyes…I always think about Forrest when I see this and am so grateful to him for always looking out for me and giving me great advice and telling me stories and even reflecting my colloquialisms back to me…we would always take afternoon breaks and I’d be like “this lady’s so mean to me” and he’d say “eff em girl, eff em” (Martin Lawrence) and I’d be like um that’s my line…you were the best, Forrest. I will really miss you. God bless and keep your family.
