Claude Jr. was merely lent to us until October 6, 2023, when the Lord called him home. All who love him will truly miss him and will always carry him in our hearts. Claude Lee Forbes Jr., an avid Florida Gators fan was born the sixth of seven children on February 9, 1991, to the late Claude Lee Forbes, a Georgia Bulldogs fan and Linda Diane Willis-Forbes. He was reared in Montezuma, Georgia. After graduating from Macon County High School in 2009, he worked for RCA Contracting. It was during this time he took over the family business and became co-owner and operator of Forbes Trucking. Now, he did go on to work for Blue Bird and Armstrong, but he knew that was truly not his calling. He missed the smell of diesel, and the feel of riding in a large car. At the time of his departure, he was working in the trucking industry as a truck driver.
On February 3, 2023, Claude married his best friend, Monterra Worsley, who remained by his side until his departure. During their marriage they traveled, spent time with family and friends and reared their fur baby Ted together.
Claude is preceded in death by his father.
