grimmie 173 #1 July 19, 2011 Long time Northern California jumper and all around nice guy passed away this weekend after an extended illness. He always had a smile and a laugh ready for everyone he met. One of the good guys. Fly free my friend... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlmiracle 7 #2 July 19, 2011 Very sad to hear this. I met him at the South of the Border boogie in San Carlos many years ago. What a super nice guy.

Elisha 1 #3 July 19, 2011 Is this the same who is a former 49ers Center? When was Forrest last active jumping and where did he usually jump? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottmac 0 #4 July 20, 2011 I was fortunate to meet Forrest and his girl friend Kelly at SkyDance Skydiving in 1994. They were both a part of my 200th jump in the sport. He was a humble and athlethic person and a pleasure to spend time with. I never research his football accomplishment until I heard of his passing. With Forrest, it was the here and now. You will be missed my old friend! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdobleman 0 #5 July 20, 2011 Yes, Ole, that was him. Jumped at Skydance a lot. Fortunately made some with him. Great Guy. madjohn Main goals in life: Be on the "Jumpers Over Eighty" (JOE) World Record and attend the Lost Prairie Boogie once after I'm gone.

I was suppose to line up behind him on inside of the otter, but as soon as he bent over, we couldn't get by. I just turned to everyone and said "we are all swooping". He was very friendly and funny. jBe kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
