IN LOVING MEMORY OF
John "Tuck"
S. Forward
Dec 23, 1957 — Aug 19, 2017
Obituary
John "Tuck" S. Forward, 59, Lake Mills, died unexpectedly on Friday, August 19, 2017 at his residence due to natural causes.
He was born on December 23, 1957 near Chicago, Illinois, the son of the late James and Jackie (Maren) Forward.
He married Beth Rodgers on October 10, 1987.
He had been a machinist for MPI in Deerfield.
John, (Tuck) Forward will be missed by many friends and family as the man who always drives around town in his beater cars with his dog Dewey hanging out the window. If you asked him why he drives a beater he would explain, with a straight face, "why spend more than 200.00 on a car when I can fix this one".
He will be remembered as the very hard worker who loved a challenge. From building a part that the neighborhood farmer needed to building his own home for his family. To Tuck if it didn't work the first time he would do it again until it did work. He was a kind man and good friend that would always come through for you if you needed him.
He will be missed.
Survivors include his children, Jack of Cambridge, Will of Lake Mills, Maddie of Saratoga Springs, NY; their mother, Beth Forward of Lake Mills; his step-mother, Dorthea Forward of LaGrange Park, IL; other relatives and friends.
Also preceded in death by his brother, David "Skip" Forward.
A Memorial visitation will be held from 10 to 12 noon on Saturday, September 2, 2017 at the Claussen Funeral Home in Lake Mills.
