About Obituary
David Russell Forrest, of Collegeville, PA, passed away after a courageous battle with brain cancer, peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family on June 14, 2023.

He was born on May 20th, 1955 son of the late Carolyn and William Forrest. David was a true family man who loved nothing more than spending time with his children and their families. He was an avid golfer and basketball enthusiast, but would love to watch any sporting event. He was a great friend to so many and left a legacy that will live on for generations.

David is survived by his loving wife of 39 years, Lin Forrest and his three children; Kirsten Francis (Kevin), Zachary Forrest (Christa) and Matthew Forrest (Alexandria); and four beautiful granddaughters with another one on the way; an all-girl starting 5 that “Pops” could have only dreamed of (Reese, Brooke, Mackenzie, Sophia & Baby Girl Forrest Aug 2023). He is also survived by his brother Paul and niece Julia Forrest. David will also be missed by many close friends and coworkers who have become family. He spent the majority of his career working in the Commercial Real Estate industry for GMH Capital Partners.
