Forsberg passed away of natural causes on December 3, 2005 surrounded by loving family members. He was born on February 4, 1926 to Fred and DeLone Summers Forsberg in Avon, Utah. He was raised in North Ogden City and Ogden City and attended Ogden High School. Dad joined the Navy where he volunteered to become a Submariner in February of 1943. He received an honorable discharge in February of 1947. On November 4, 1949 he married Doris Howe Todd in Elko, Nevada. With this union he became an instant Daddy to Sharon Rae and Andrea Kay Todd. Dad worked at the Navy Base prior to joining the service and again when he completed his tour. He then joined the Ogden City Fire Department retiring with the rank of "Captain" after 26 A 1/2 years. During this time Dad and Mom also ran their own business "Ogden Home Repair & Fix-it Company". After retiring from the fire department Dad went to work at Hill AFB in the Heat Shop. He retired for good in 1986 to spend more time with the Grandkids and travel with Mom. Dad enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening, camping, spending time with family and friends and being a "Snowbird" with Mom in Yuma, Arizona during the winters.
