Kevin Ryan Forbes, 53, of Knoxville, TN, went to be with the Lord on November 20, 2025.
He was born on October 11, 1972, to Norman Dean Forbes and Mary Alice King Forbes.
Kevin was a lifelong sports lover who, from the very beginning, fell in love with the game of football. One of his greatest joys was running his own fantasy football league, where he and his closest friends gathered each year to share friendship, fellowship, laughter, and their deep love for the sport.
Kevin’s love for baseball began when he was a little boy. It was something incredibly special to him — a cherished bond shared only between him, his father, and his identical twin brother. It was a priceless tradition, and even 45 years later, Kevin and his twin brother continued it faithfully, honoring the connection the three of them built together.
Kevin loved his family with every ounce of his being. His family was his happiness and his purpose. His knowing smile, his laughter, his warmth, and his big heart could make even strangers feel like they belonged.
Kevin Ryan Forbes leaves behind his loving wife, Asia Forbes; his children, Bayla, Hatalen, Issic, Camron, and JulieAnna; his siblings, Christopher, Kelly, Kenneth, and his identical twin brother Keith; his beloved nieces and nephews; and many cherished cousins.
May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.
