Forrest Featherstone

Forrest L. Featherstone Jr. was a young Baltimore man whose life was cut short on November 5, 1999, at the age of 20. Public records confirm his identity and the date of his death, but there is no published obituary or family-authorized memorial discovered in primary newspaper archives or funeral-home notices that both names him exactly and matches the November 5, 1999 date. What remains clear from the available public record is that Forrest was a real person with relationships and a life in Baltimore — a member of a family and community who mattered to people who knew him.

Because formal obituary details (such as parents' or siblings' names, places of work, school, or personal interests) are not available in the sources identified, this remembrance focuses on honoring his humanity without inventing specifics. At 20, Forrest was at the threshold of adulthood, a time when people often carry hopes for further study, work, friendships, and future family. The official death listing from Maryland records confirms his name and age and the date of passing, which anchors the factual record and the grief tied to that day.

Community-contributed memorials and public databases also record Forrest’s loss, reflecting that his death resonated beyond immediate family circles. Those references show that members of his community remembered him and that his passing is part of Baltimore’s historical record of lives lost to gun violence. While the detailed, family-authored story of his life is not present in the public newspaper or funeral-home notices found in this search, the confirmation of his identity and death date affirms that Forrest existed, mattered, and left an absence felt by people who knew him.

This page honors Forrest without speculating about his personality or private relationships. If family members or friends wish to share memories, photographs, or a fuller account of his life—schools attended, work, passions, or the names of those who loved him—those details would allow a fuller, personalized remembrance to better reflect the person he was. For now, we acknowledge Forrest L. Featherstone Jr. by name, by the verified date of his death, and by the recognition that a young life in Baltimore was lost too soon. He is remembered with dignity and respect.
