Forest Caleb Christensen, "Poot", died on September 21, 2007.

He was born May 27, 1988 in Logan, Utah, the son of Jason Wells Christensen and Marde Payne Christensen. He spent his life in Cache Valley. He attended schools in Cache Valley and Grace, Idaho. He graduated from Sky View High School in 2007.

For as long as Poot was on this earth, he always lived life to the fullest. Life always had a new adventure for him, and he enjoyed many activities with his family and friends. He was successful and talented in everything he attempted to do. He had many passions, and had an ability to intensely focus on mastering whatever his current interest was. For example, at age 3 Y2 he learned to ride a bicycle, and soon after that he taught himself how to ride a unicycle. He was never idle, and seemed to live his life on fast forward speed.

Forest loved the outdoors. He and his brothers grew up together and did everything together as young children. Forest was the leader of Christensen boys. He was always inventing new things for his brothers to play with, build, and ride on. He later enjoyed "tinkering on" and riding his three-wheelers, motorcycle, snowmobile, his car and truck. He also loved fishing, camping, hiking, skiing and wakeboarding.

Forest loved hands-on learning and work. His favorite classes in high school were at Bridgerland, where he became talented in auto collision repair, welding and carpentry. He was also very artistic and enjoyed ceramics and drawing.

Though we have always been in awe of Poot's talents and abilities, what his family will always remember is his gentle caring nature and his love for others. He was always concerned for his family and others, and would sacrifice much of his time helping those around him, sharing his talents. He was a true giver.

Forest is survived by his parents, Jason and Marde Christensen, brothers, Chance, Zachary, and Gabriel Christensen, all of North Logan; grandparents, Dick & Nina Payne, Lindon, Utah; James & Melissa Christensen, Alta, Wyoming; Aunts and Uncles, Marc & Karen Payne, Lehi, Utah; Dirk & Brenda Payne, Placerville, CA; Brian Payne, Orem, UT; Jami Barzee, Payson, UT; Jube & Laurel Christensen, Egin, ID; Reed & Candace Dayton, Alta, WY; James & Angela Hansen, Steamboat Springs, CO; and many cousins.
