Forrest Exum

Forrest Al Exum, 83, Paragould, passed away on Sunday.

Since he was but a lad, hiding under the house to avoid discipline, Ex (as he was affectionately known), was always a character. He never met a stranger, with a joke or political tidbit to offer up to anyone and everyone. Forrest was a well known regular at the McDonald's Table of Wisdom, his morning coffee being the favorite part of his day. On November 29, 2015, Forrest left to go chat and share a morning coffee with his Lord. Though he will be dearly missed by many, we shouldn't look at this as a goodbye, but as an until we meet again. Memorial services to pay last respects will be held Wednesday, December 2nd at 3:00 p.m. at Fairview Baptist on Fairview Road. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Fairview Cemetery.
