I extend my deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Master William Constantine Forrest, who passed away on December 3, 2023, after bravely fighting Pearsons Syndrome. His funeral service is scheduled to arrive at Buchan Cemetery on Monday, December 11, 2023, at 2:30 pm for a graveside ceremony.
William was born on March 30, 2022, and brought immense joy to his parents, Jamie (Eaton) and Brenton Forrest, and his adoring sister, Lola. He faced his illness with incredible courage and resilience, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who knew and loved him. William peacefully departed this world at Monash Children’s Hospital, surrounded by his family, leaving behind a legacy of love and strength.
The family has requested no flowers but instead invites well-wishers to make a donation to the Kmart wishing tree in remembrance of William. This thoughtful gesture reflects the family’s desire to contribute to a cause that brings joy and support to others during the holiday season.
The outpouring of love and condolences from friends and acquaintances on social media is a testament to the impact William had on the lives of those around him. Messages of sympathy, love, and support have been shared, expressing a collective sense of loss and empathy for the grieving family.
The community has rallied around the Forrest family, offering love, prayers, and condolences during this difficult time. Each message, whether from close friends or individuals who didn’t personally know the family, reflects the universal sentiment that the loss of such a young and brave soul is profoundly heart-wrenching.
As the community prepares to gather for the funeral service at Buchan Cemetery, it is evident that William’s memory will live on, and the impact of his courageous spirit will continue to inspire those who were touched by his presence.
The family, surrounded by the love and support of their community, will undoubtedly find solace in the collective embrace of those who share in their grief.
In honor of William Constantine Forrest, may he rest in peace, and may his memory be a source of comfort and inspiration to all who knew him.
