Harold Leroy Forrest III

Harold Leroy Forrest III, 31, of Columbus, Ohio, sadly left our world unexpectedly on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.

Harold was born on November 4, 1993, to the late Michael Stanley Forrest and Kamaria Ann Echols. Harold was enrolled in the Columbus City school district before becoming an entrepreneur. To know Harold was to love him; he was a beacon of light and hope keeping the “Forrest” and “Echols” families connected in ways others couldn’t. Harold lived life to the fullest; he loved being a father and spending time with his family.

Although Harold is gone, he will live on in our hearts FOREVER!!!

Harold leaves to cherish his memory his children, Xzavier, Dorshelle, Micheal, J’vion, Ky’sean, Dhakarion, Ky’Leona, and Harold; mother, Kamaria Echols; sisters, Lynn, Linda, Lindora (Phillip), Lynetta, Cynguala, Zirea, Nikkita, Sheraiel, Tiara, Denny, Mary, and Kamerin; brothers, Kevin, Brian, Michael, Lamar, Derrick, Sherrick, and Emirl; special family members, Molly and Patricia (nieces), Piercen (nephew), Michelle, Tierra, Fontazia, Tiffany, and Jerica (cousins); the mothers of his children, Kaviona, Khadijah, and Cenel; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends that loved and will miss him dearly.

Harold is preceded in death by his father, Michael Stanley Forrest; grandmothers, Isadora Forrest and Mary Echols; brother, Chesvon; nephew, Gavin Sr.; and cousin, Darius.

It’s hard to lose someone you love, but it’s even harder to lose someone that loved you.
