Franklin Forrest Call III, better known to many as Forrest, passed into the welcoming embrace of his heavenly father on March 6,2022. Forrest was a happy, leap year baby born in Billings, February 29,1996, to proud and loving parents Frank Call and Sandie Mathis. He was always quick to remind other 1996 kids that he’d be forever 4 years younger.
As a young tot, Forrest loved playing catch with his paternal grandparents, Frank and Phyllis. At the age of 4, he moved to Miles City with his family. He attended Garfield Elementary, Washington Middle School, and Custer County District High School.
Forrest worked a variety of jobs around Miles City, most recently being Weideman Roofing, Dollar Tree, and Taco John’s. He enjoyed customer service and always had a smile for you.
Being a Prince Harry like Ginger, Forrest loved a rousing snowball fight or Nerf battle with his dad and nieces and nephews. Best enjoying the outdoors, Forrest loved fishing with his dad, cousins, nieces, and nephews; hiking; bicycling; or just wandering the countryside; and football as a Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
Forrest’s life struggles, though haunting, drove his passion to love others. Ever in their hearts, Forrest is survived by his father Frank of Miles City and mother Sandie; Three older sisters Desiree (Zach), Breia and Kayla; his brother Justin; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and nieces and nephews especially Infiniti, Destin, and Oxli. Special thanks to Rick Newby, a caring mentor, and Forrest’s other friends in Miles City and beyond.

I coached Forest in little guy football. He was a good person. A few years ago I was fishing on the Tongue River and Forest came by and we fished for a couple hours. I actually catch a nice catfish and Forest jump in the river grabbed so I didn’t lose it. It was fun to catch up and visit. He was always very kind and pleasant and very polite. I’m very sorry for your loss.
