Forrest Lee Shewmaker

Forrest Shewmaker passed away on November 24, 2019, after 78 years of telling some of the corniest, yet, well-timed jokes.Forrest loved fishing, Home Depot, cussing, bow hunting, Corvettes, white socks with sandals, banana cream pie, his dog, Molly, his wife Pat, his whole entire family, and John Wayne, not necessarily in that order.He hated the Dallas Cowboys, Indian food, dirty cars, Dancing With The Stars, canoes, and vegetables, not necessarily in that order. Forrest would not want anyone to waste money on flowers.Instead, he would be tickled if you took a friend or loved one to Chili’s.Forrest believes they’re gonna’ need the cash now that their number one customer has moved on.Otherwise, he would hate the fuss, but would be honored, if small donations were made to Benefis Peace Hospice in Great Falls.Forrest and his family were showered with such extraordinary care there. A celebration of Forrest’s life will happen when the snow melts and will likely take place alongside a beautiful Montana river with a little bit of fishing, some storytelling, cold fried chicken, and plenty of warm Pepsi. He will be sorely missed, but never forgotten.
