Paul Forsyth

November 9, 1961 — October 5, 2024

Selmer, TN

Walter Paul Forsyth was born on November 9, 1961, in Savannah, TN, to the late Parvin Forsyth and Artie Frances Williams Forsyth.

On April 3, 1995, Paul married Kathy Griswell. He worked as a truck driver for over 25 years and later taught truck driving school for several years. He was a devoted member of Piney Grove Church of God, where he actively served by running the sound, playing the bass, and driving the bus for church outings. Outside of church, Paul loved spending time in nature, either in the woods or at the lake. Hunting, fishing, and time with his grandchildren were his greatest joys.

He is survived by his wife, Kathy Forsyth; his children: Adam Forsyth (Brynn) of Selmer, TN, Monica Foster (Dreu) of Adamsville, TN, Stephanie Britton (Dustin) of Adamsville, TN, Monia Eubanks (Shawn) of Selmer, TN, Marcus Oliver (Cassie Sisco) of Selmer, TN, Whitney Cole of Selmer, TN, and Adrian Forsyth (Laura Beth) of Finger, TN; 14 grandchildren; his sister, Janutia Williams (Joe) of Selmer, TN; his beloved dog, Pretty Girl; and many other family members and friends.

In addition to his parents, Paul was preceded in death by his sister, Judy Rolison.
