Forrest Chambless and family

The Chambless family is one of a kind and is always willing to help out. So with that being said, let's be the community I know Crandall is and rise up and show this amazing family how wonderful they are!! This gofundme account will help Krystal and the boys with upcoming expenses as they navigate this very difficult time.

Yesterday I lost my best friend & the love of my life. My boys lost their father & one of their biggest supporters & cheerleaders.

21 years of loving him & being loved by him was not nearly enough time. I hope and pray that he knew just how much the boys and I loved him. I hope our boys know now & never forget how much he loved them & how damn proud he was of them. I hope they know how blessed they are to have a dad who loved them unconditionally and cheered for them & supported them in everything they did. That he would drop everything, no matter what he was doing day or night, to be there for them when they said they needed him.

I am going to miss the way he loved me. The way he would just walk up and hold me for no reason. He would randomly turn up the radio grab me & start dancing in the living room. The way he would tell me how beautiful I was when I looked like I had been run over by a train. I would tell him he needed to go get his eyes checked and he would say no way, he could see perfectly fine. I’ll miss him knowing exactly what to say to make me feel better when I was having a bad day. The way he could calm me down when I would start having an anxiety attack. And the way he could make me laugh no matter how hard I tried to be mad at him. I’ll miss watching him being a dad. Watching him coach the boys, giving them advice & teaching them what it means to be a good man. I loved watching him coach little league & peewee. He absolutely loved working with kids. I think, next to being a dad, it was his biggest calling in life. And, in 21 years of marriage, I haven’t found a kid yet that didn’t love him just the same. I could go on for days, but mostly I am just going to miss him. The man I fell in love with when I was just a 19 year old girl. I’m forever thankful that he asked me out for dinner all those years ago. And that he chose me to be his forever.

I will find some comfort in knowing that he is not in any more pain. Please pray for our boys. This is going to be such a tough time for them. We aren’t really sure how to navigate and move on from here, but we will figure it out together. Thank you to everyone who has reached out, sat with us, loved on us and cried with us. I am trying my best to respond to messages. Please just be patient with me.
