Forest James Raby

I cannot even begin to understand what Brooke, Matt, and Amber are going through right now, but I would like to offer my prayers and condolences. What a fantastic family Forest is part of. Although I have known his father Matt his entire life, I only met Forest once about 14 years ago when I brought my young kids out to Utah for a family reunion. My kids still remember their cousins they met that summer. Although Heavenly Father has called Forest back, we know that his memory with be with us forever.

Although I never got to know Forest on an extremely personal level I was able to work alongside him on the basketball court and in school and was able to see his passion that he carried with him through anything he set his mind to. I want to let his family know that they have a large community supporting them through this hard time and that Forest's memory will always be honored and remembered.

We loved it when Forest visited our home. He was a great friend and help to Devin, Esther, and Shelby. He lit up any room he inhabited and we always enjoyed having him over. We appreciated him being a part of our lives, and especially part of Devin's life. We are devastated by the loss of this wonderful young man . Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Dear Brooke,Matt,Amber,Anna,Paige,Larry, Brent,Mac and all the family; please draw on our love to give you strength. Our hearts are with you. Love, The Carbajals.

I'd like to begin by saying Forest was such an amazing person to me. He was so genuine and it's true he picked his friends wisley. I feel very fortunate to have been one he selected. We might not have been as close as I wished we could have but I cared deeply about him. I worked with Forest in Park city and he was my favorite to work with, always made me laugh with his witty jokes and I could always count on him for help. We stayed in touch after he left to work at solitude, and then Publik. I am so sorry for your loss he will forever remain in my heart. He was truly someone that had an impact in my life. He inspired me to get outdoors more, listen to all kinds of music, and just be better. He touched many lives I know it, he was a special person, the kind I'm sure I'll never meet again. I have prayed everyday for him and his family because these are the times we need the most love and support. For him the pain has ended. He's at peace now. Let us find solace in that. I can never know how hard it must be for his family to endure through all this but I send all my love and condolences your way. I will never forget Forest or the person he was and inspired me to be. I loved him very much and I will cherish the moments we shared together forever. I also find comfort in knowing how much his parents and family loved him with all their heart.
