I copied this from another website...
Peacefully, with his family by his side, Forrest L. Wood of Flippin passed away on January 25, 2020 in his 87th year. Alongside his wife Nina of 68 years, they founded Ranger Boats, established a family cattle ranching operation, and built a worldwide network of dear friends. The family would like to express their sincere thanks to the team at Baxter Regional Medical Center and the many friends who have provided comfort during this difficult time. Funeral arrangements are pending and will be released shortly.
I had the pleasure of meeting him once...you won't find a nicer more unassuming man...R.I.P.

Sad to hear but heโs on to better things. I guess MLF pushed him over the edge.

RIP Mr. Wood, he was a large figure in the sport of Bass fishing. A very nice person who would take the time to visit with you, not just sign a cap and push you away. Prayers for his wife and family.
