Mr. Harold W Forren

Harold was a mining engineer who began his career as a surveyor for the WV Department of Highways. He then worked for Pittston Coal at Bolt and Meadow River and retired in 2000 after 28 years of service. Some of Harold's favorite things to do were woodworking, clock-making, mowing grass, gardening and cheering for his beloved Green Bay Packers.

Those left to cherish his memory include his devoted wife Brenda Forren and their five children, Bernard "Nick" Forren of Beckley, Randy Forren and wife Kim of Erie, PA, Tamara Lagowski of Beckley, Robert Forren and wife Jamie of Beckley, and Timothy Forren of Oak Hill. He also leaves behind grandchildren Abigail Goff, Courtney Crouse and husband Zachary, Nathan Forren and wife Noemi, Avery Lagowski and wife Caitlyn, Nicholas Forren and wife Heather, Jarod Forren, Garrett Forren, Robbie Forren, Gavyn Forren, two great grandchildren, Henry Forren and Calvin Goff, as well as great granddaughter Saylor Crouse, whom we will all get to meet in August.

Services for Harold will be held on Friday, March 21, 2025 at 1:00 pm at Blue Ridge Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Everett Meadows officiating. Friends may gather with the family from 11:00 am until the time of the service.

Harold will be laid to rest at Blue Ridge Memorial Gardens with sons and grandsons serving as pallbearers.
