Martin Francis Forrester passed away comfortably surrounded by family on Sunday, June 26th, 2022. He is survived by 4 children, Lisa (Patrick), Eric (Amanda), Pamela (Joel), and Cory (Michelle); 3 siblings, Steve, Bill, and Jill; 9 grandchildren, Jonathon, Tyler, Devon, Evan, Lucy, Elijah, Kyrie, Josiah, and Emerald; 2 great grandchildren, Aria, and Gideon; 6 nephews; 4 nieces; and many great and great great nieces and nephews. He was from a large family by parents Larry and Theodora, who were also from large families, and therefore had a slew of cousins spread out across the country.  He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Rosemarie, and son Lee. 

He grew up in San Diego, CA and after four decades, moved to central AR, where he lived for over two decades. Later he traveled across the country and world, spending significant time in Arizona, UAE, and again in California and Arkansas. He was a people person and was well liked everywhere he went, easily making friends that led to multiple lifetime connections. 

The family thanks everyone for their friendship and love over the years. We feel very fortunate to have known most of the people that he knew as they always had a seat at his barbecues. A memorial service in the San Diego area is being planned.
