A memorial service will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Sandy, Oregon on Wednesday, August 21, 2013 at 11:00am.

Richard Shayne Forsgren was born on October 25, 1952 in Rexburg Idaho to Betty (Beard) and Glen Forsgren. He was a “man’s man”. He enjoyed good food, good times and good friends, loved to fish, hunt and camp. His main gift was his mechanic ability even from a very young age. Shayne grew up in Idaho looking at the Teton Mountains and swimming and fishing the Teton River. What a sense of humor he had. He was loved and he loved back and was always there to help. He will be missed way too much and especially the BEST smoked salmon around.

Survivors include his mother and step father, Betty and Bill Burgener, his brother, Kris Forsgren, daughter Sarah Myrick, nephew Nathan Forsgren, father, Glen Forsgren , his longtime companion Nora Nuse and multiple more family members.

Dearest Betty and Kris,
Tears fill my eyes. I am so deeply sorry to hear that Shayne has died. I knew that he was in poor health but always hoped and prayed for a miracle. I wish I could have been there with you. I will always remember the good things about Shayne...that wry smile and wit. He was intelligent and gifted in his skills, loved the outdoors and relaxing under the big sky. He is shining down now as a bright star. And I can hear his laughter in the wind.
God Bless Shayne. And God Bless You as you cope with this sadness. We will all see each other again. Love, Judy
Judy (Mitchell) Armstrong
