Did you know…? his question was always one of intrigue or something to make you think. I am speaking of Forrest Dale Harper born in Palacios, Texas on April 8th 1977 to Russell and Violet Harper.

Residing predominantly in Cleburne. Forrest grew up with his two sisters, Heather Wilkerson and the youngest Lynelle Sparks who later made him an uncle with niece Taylor Fain. He excelled in Pathfinders, Boy Scouts and loved hiking and computers. Funny and quick witted the handsome young man married Jennifer Griffitt. Who gave birth to Katherine and Abigail Harper. On May 16, 1999 he married Elisha Rogers, mother of his youngest daughter Mackenzie.

Forrest, a long standing member of the Cleburne Seventh Day Adventist Church, served in a number of positions. Over the years he was on the church board, served as webmaster and leader of the junior department. Perhaps his favorite roll was telling the children's story. With great excitement and forethought he strolled across the stage weaving a tale enjoyable to both young and old.

One of his greatest joys came two weeks before his death, he became a grandpa to Corbyn Wise born to his oldest daughter.
Forrest passed October 6th 2016
Did you know…? he's asleep awaiting Christ glorious second coming

He is survived by his parents Russell and Violet Harper; his wife Elisha Harper; daughters Katherine Harper, Abigail Harper and MacKenzie Harper; sisters Heather Wilkerson and Husband Stephen; Lynelle Sparks and Husband Clay and niece Taylor Fain and nephew Taylor James Sparks and by one grandchild Corbyn Wise.

There will be a memorial service honoring his life at 4:00 PM Monday, October 10, 2016 at the Palacios Funeral Home.
