In his younger years, Forrest enjoyed riding motorcycles and had numerous dirt bikes which he loved riding with his son, Rick. He also sang and recorded many country western songs and performed whenever he had the chance.
Forrest loved telling good jokes and making people laugh. Above all, every opportunity was spent with his beloved companion, Margo, and her family.
In addition to his parents, Forrest was predeceased by his love, Margaret "Margo" Hall, two brothers, and his dear friend, Charlie King.
Left to cherish his memory are his three children, Rick (Sharon) Lilly, Gary Lilly, and Cheryl Rushing; five grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; along with many wonderful friends including Ty and Vicki Hall and William VanNess.
