Forrest Lee Rierson

Mr. Forrest Lee Rierson, 56, passed away Thursday, May 9th at his home, surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Forsyth Co. on September 20, 1967, the son of Dewey Franklin Rierson Sr. and the late Anne Shelton Rierson. Forrest is survived by his loving wife, Kelly Rierson, his two children, Morgan Lee Montgomery (husband Jon Montgomery) and Brodrick Forrest Rierson (wife Michala Rierson), and his grandchildren, Oakley Forrest Rierson, Rylee Palmer Montgomery, and his grandpuppies and grandkitty. His two siblings Dewey Franklin Rierson Jr. “Frank” (Heather) and Dana Anne Rierson, nephew Lincoln Rierson and niece, Somers Rierson.

Forrest was a member of Poplar Springs Christian Church of King, where he recently fulfilled his promise to God through baptism. He was a beloved father, husband, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Forrest graduated from Forsyth Technical Community College with a degree in Finance. He was the Payroll Manager for Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corporation. Throughout his 30+ year career in finance, he was known for his hard work, dedication, and passion for his team. But more than anything, Forrest was a devoted father and grandfather. He was always there to offer guidance, support, and encouragement, no matter what challenges they faced. In his free time, Forrest enjoyed attending his children’s ballgames, coaching, and spending time with his family. Forrest was the epitome of a family man. He was always eager to share his knowledge and enthusiasm with others. He was an avid sports fan, with his favorite teams being Duke Blue Devils, Dallas Cowboys, and the New York Yankees. His memory will be forever cherished by all who knew him. The family would like to sincerely thank the Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corporation for all their unwavering love and support. They would also like to thank Dr. Daniel George and his team at Duke Cancer Center for all of their compassion and medical care that they provided. Lastly, we want to thank all of his friends that have supported him throughout his life.
