Daniel M. Forrest, age 52, of Florida and formerly of Pequannock, died tragically on Tuesday, March 19, 2013.
Dan moved to Pequannock with his family when he was about seven years old. He graduated from Pequannock High School with the class of 1978. He continued on at Lincoln Tech and became a mechanic. He had worked for the family business, Forrest Manufacturing in Clifton, before moving to Florida in 1998.
Dan was a very smart guy and had varied interests. He enjoyed beekeeping as a young man, building the hives and selling the honey. He became very good at leather tooling after receiving a gift set of tools from his grandparents. He was very skilled and a craftsman in many ways. He would pour himself into his hobbies and master them until something else more intriguing came along. During high school, he became interested in weight lifting and soon had a perfect physique. He stood at six feet, five inches tall and was an imposing character to begin with, but he was truly a quiet and modest person through and through. Dan was a very private man, and it may be that his mother knew him better than anyone. They would, at times, have long talks together. Shortly after losing her in 1997, Dan moved to Florida, where he lived ever since.
Dan is survived by his sister Lynn Forrest of Wanaque, his brother Jay Forrest and his wife Denise of Pequannock, and Jim Forrest and his wife Lisa of Boonton Township, as well as six nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his mother Lois Forrest in 1997 and his father James E. Forrest in 2008.
