He is proceeded in death by his parents. Mike married Tracy (Jesseph) Forsyth on July 16th, 1988 in California, and renewed their vows on May 15th, 1999 in Olathe, KS.

Survivors include his children Ashley Berry of Ottawa, KS, Michael Jeffrey Forsyth of Overland Park, KS, Samantha (Drew) Jennings of Cleveland, MO; his siblings Sheryl Thomas of Paris, MO, Sharon (Bob) Bouchard of Madison, MO, Mark (Julie) Forsyth of Divide, CO, Stacy (Jody) Daubenberger of Cape Coral, FL; his grandchildren Adiken, Austin and Ava Berry of Ottawa, KS, and Charlotte Jennings of Cleveland, MO. He was adored by his nieces and nephews Josh (Mindy) and Sara Apel, Kimberly and Rachel Bouchard, and Jay Daubenberger.

Mike loved baseball, making it to all but six of the MLB parks. He loved electronics, traveling, and any excuse to get outdoors. He was an avid handyman; there was no task he could not accomplish once he set his mind to it. Mike grew up on the farm in Madison, MO, and never lost his passion for farming. More than anything, though, he loved his family. His children, parents, siblings, and extended family were everything to him.

His career spanned the ever-changing technology of television. He installed satellite dishes and repaired the equipment that operated them. He worked for AT&T for 20 years, retiring in 2019 as a video engineer where his responsibilities greatly evolved, keeping the equipment working behind the scenes and shows on the air. His favorite show was The Andy Griffith Show, because it reminded him of his father.

Visitation will be held at McGilley State Line Chapel, 12301 State Line Road, Kansas City, MO,

on Monday, April 18th at 11:00am, followed by a service at noon. You are encouraged to wear baseball attire in his honor.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to parkinson.org in honor of Mike’s father, Jack Forsyth.
