In the early 1960's, Forest proudly managed the bustling Big Oaks Gas Station, a central hub for locals and travelers alike.

Forest's love for the outdoors extended beyond racing, as he cherished the moments spent hunting on his expansive property in northern Michigan. He embodied the spirit of a true man’s man—confident, strong, and deeply rooted in his passions. Forest's zest for life was infectious; he was always ready with a smile and a kind word. He loved to give popcorn away as gifts to his friends and was affectionately known as "the popcorn guy". Above all, Forest held an unwavering love for his wife, a bond that shone brightly in every aspect of his life. In addition to his parents, Forest is preceded in death by his wife, Alma Raye Martin; one brother, Weeden Martin; three sisters, Eloise Ison, Chrystal Knox, and Dorothy Tipton.
