Forrest Henry Abrams

Forrest Henry Abrams died tragically and unexpectedly in the early-morning hours, Friday, May 10, 2013, at the age of 18. Forrest was born October 13, 1994, in Little Rock into a close family, who are mourning his loss deeply. Forrest is survived by his parents, Chris and Amy Russell; sisters, Alex Abrams and Bethany Russell of Fayetteville and Little Rock; his beloved dog and sidekick, Bubba; Grandparents Joyce Franklin of Little Rock; Gilbert and Pam Korenblat of Little Rock; Nash and Marilyn Abrams of Little Rock; Mary Francis Abrams of Little Rock; and Leigh Anne and Alice Anne Russell of Little Rock. Other relatives in mourning include, but are by no means limited to his aunt, Ellen Korenblat, her husband Luke Kramer and their two children, Henry and Tess; and his uncle David Korenblat, all of Little Rock. Forrest was and will remain a free spirit who loved playing and writing music, especially on his guitar. His artistic nature and creativity shone through in his drawing as well. Forrest also enjoyed camping and being outdoors; but most of all, Forrest enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Forrest aspired to someday help troubled youth in some capacity through therapy or mentorship. Experiencing first hand his warm heart, gentle nature and generosity, this could be easily realized. Forrest touched the hearts of many of his friends and family by reminding them to "keep growing," a favorite saying of his. Forrest will always be remembered for his incredible sense of humor, by naming his dog Bubba, he knew friends would make the connection. There will be a memorial service Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 11 a.m. in Ruebel Funeral Home. Arrangements by Ruebel Funeral Home, www.ruebelfuneralhome.com.
