Forrest Roger Honse, of Vienna, was born on September 14, 1942, at Vienna, a son of Clyde Avery and Mabel (Frey) Honse, and departed this life at 11:44 p.m., on Wednesday, November 18, 2020, in Capital Region Medical Center, Jefferson City. He had attained the age of 78 years, 2 months, and 4 days.

Forrest was united in marriage on June 19, 1965, in First Baptist Church, Vienna, to the former Miss Vivian Ramsey, and to this union, two daughters were born.

He was a lifelong member of the First Baptist Church, Vienna, and had accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and baptized as a youngster, when the church was known as the Terry Baptist Church.
Forrest served as a Deacon at First Baptist Church for many years.

For all of his working life, Forrest has been a part of the Honse Implement Company in Vienna, which was founded by his dad, Clyde Honse, in 1950, and at the time of his passing, he had been the owner and operator of the business since 1970. We are thankful Forrest was able to celebrate the 50 ^th Anniversary of the Honse Implement Company this year.

Being a man about his business, two things were most important to Forrest, work and church, however he did enjoy the Vienna Gun Club, deer hunting, fishing at Bennett Spring State Park, and most of all, the Monday night fish fry at Honse Implement.
