Marion Forrest Towry, Jr.

October 9, 1943 - January 16, 2022

Marion Forrest Towry, Jr. passed away January 16, 2022 at the age of 78 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was born October 9, 1943 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He is preceded in death by his father, Dr. Marion Forrest Towry, Sr. and mother, Harriett Priscilla Towry (McBride), best known as June, and most recently his niece, Debra Towry Weinrich. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Norma Jean Towry, sister Marilyn Brinkman and brother Charles Towry. He leaves behind his children, Kimberly Kanwischer, Carol Vance, Ronald Towry, and Mark Towry, along with grandchildren: Emily Towry, Lucas Kanwisher, David Kanwisher, Ayden & Ashton Towry, Avery Towry and Alex Harris. Marion (Forrest) was a helper, a joker, a husband, father, brother, uncle and grandfather. He loved a good joke. He loved his family and was always there to help when needed. He gave more than he had to give. Forrest was a Marine and graduate from Edison Senior High School where his father, Dr. Marion Forrest Towry, Sr. was the assistant principal. We are sure this dynamic was a lot of fun and surely led to some of his escapades in high school. Forrest's legacy is passed on through his children. He has taught them the steadfastness of love. Of being there, with no questions asked. Always doing the right thing and to honor your word. To remember to laugh once in a while. He would want us to laugh. It is now our legacy to continue in his honor. Memorial service will be 11:00 A.M., Monday, January 24, 2022 at Grace Lutheran Church, 2331 E. 5th Place, Tulsa, OK. Moore's Southlawn 918-663-223 As I sit in Heaven And watch you everyday I try and let you know with signs, I never went away. I hear you when you're laughing And I watch you as you sleep, I even place my arms Around you, to calm you As you weep. I see you wish the days away, Begging to have me home So I try and send you signs, So you know you're not alone. Don't feel guilty That you have life, Life that was denied to me Heaven is truly beautiful Just you wait and see! So live your life, Laugh again, Enjoy yourself, Be free. Then I'll know with Each breath you take, You'll be taking one for me.
