This is a devastating loss to everyone who knew him. I have known Billy for 28+ years. My whole family is impacted by this. He was a great best friend to Ervin and Me. Fabulous UNCLE to my girls, Wonderful great uncle to my grands.... he loved everybody and we loved him. He has helped my family out in many ways. Been there at a drop of the hat when it was serious, and always there for emotional support. I will miss his laugh, his stupid jokes, and miss having to repeat myself because he did not hear you the first time! We Love you Billy Joe "HOLLYWOOD" Forrest! AND DONT KNOW HOW TO MOVE ON :(

There is no doubt that Billy loved his family and they adored him. I am Daniel’s (Danny’s) cousin on his mother’s side and I can say I saw how much he loved his kids through Danny. I am praying for you all. We always miss our lost loved ones, but their memories and their true impact on our lives can never be lost.
