He is also survived by son, Richard “Ricky” Hammett (Sonya) and daughter, Geneva H. “Sissy” Hanks (David); brother in law, Robert Hammett (brother), and Maynard Hammett (Brother); grandchildren: Nicholas and Drew Hammett; four great grandchildren.
Forrest A. Hammett can be remembered for his value of integrity and taking care of those around him. His humble upbringings allowed him to become an extremely resourceful gentleman and businessman. He had a love for gardening later in life due to being raised by a farmer and has passed down that desire to his grandchildren.
Forrest A. Hammett had a passion for tractors and engines, which ultimately led him into building race cars that would go on to win local championships. The bonds that he made through his love for racing are some of the greatest wins in his life.
