Forrest “F” grew up in Evanston, graduated from Withrow High.

My heart aches for I miss my baby brother, holidays are not the sam without he and our mother Mary Alice (Shorty) I don’t know if my time is getting near for my HomeGoing Celebration, my chest pain gets heavier each time, I know Forrest and Mother want me to stay here and keep our family together.I am trying to be there but the young ones has moved away, so my brother I am doing my best wish you andMary Alice was here, Things would be so much better, Deborah has enough weight on her shoulders and I don’t like worrying her she misses you all also.

During the holidays it is so hard without you my brother, I feel your love so strong surrounding us, all excited for the food we would prepare family and friends to share it with this you loved so much, I would just sit back and look at you smiling all cool with your favorite baseball cap on watching everyone talking enjoying themselves and you enjoying them and then you would say to me “Jackie you’er on some other shit” if I said Forrest why don’t you mingle instead of sitting in the corner, then we would laugh at each other and sit in our little space enjoying our views, that’s how bonded my brother and I was, cannot wait till the holidays are over, they are not the same without you and Mary Alice, the life of the party and joy in my home, who I would love cooking for so when you all went home you two had meals for days and homemade sweet potatoes pies that you two loved that I baked it made me so happy to do that now I don’t anymore because you told me on your deathbed Jackie you cook best greens and cabbage and ham your food melts in ones mouth, you never ask is it ok but you are an excellent cook, that made me feel so good that I made you happy with my cooking because I always wanted to do things that made you feel happy and loved as a special brother, So another year my brother we hold each other dear within our heart until we meet all together as FAMILY we will hold each other in our HEART & MEMORIES EACH HOLIDAY YEAR.

There is an obituary for my brother, will contact funeral home

The memories of my brother are many, it has not taken me four years to express my feeling, I truly miss him, to young to die but he was sick and he fought as long as he could not wanting his family to worry. Forrest, was a kind hearted man I saw grow men cry at his homegoing saying how he would feed them, let sleep at his home if they had no where to go, not that my brother was perfect no one is but Forrest tryed not to judge he read his bible and most of all during his last days as he prepared for his journey he talked with GOD, my brother is truly missed but I feel he's always close watching over his sisters.

My prayers and condolences go to the family and friends of Forrest Watson. Anita L Baxter (Withrow High School Class of 1972)

May God keep and bless the Family of Forrest. I know he will truly be missed. His spirit is with his father who loves him.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
