Forrest Kirk Lewis

Dearest Friends and Family,

Our dear Forrest has died. He was brother, son, partner, father, friend, nephew, cousin, coworker, big help and smile bringer to many of us. He died suddenly, collapsing into Aimee’s arms. Although his time on Earth was way too short, he left from a place of good health and happiness, having achieved most recently great satisfaction with projects on his land.

Forrest Lewis

Listed below are a few ways to memorialize Forrest. If you are on the West Coast, there will be a circle at Three Springs. On the East Coast, Forrest’s old friend Tommy Donohue is putting something together. For those of you on other continents and in between, please take a moment to look up at the stars, with a reflection.

This Saturday, July 7th, 4:30 – 8:30 PM (3:00 PM for Tie-Dye)
Memorial at Three Springs
59820 Italian Bar Road, North Fork, CA 93643

3:00 PM You may come early for a memorial tie-dye session (bring your own cotton items).
