Michael grew up in Centerville, Ohio and studied at Wright State University. He then moved to California where he attended San Jose University and studied opera. He had a beautiful bass voice and performed at Opera San Jose. Michael was a member of the Jaycee’s and at a meeting met Christine. They married on June 10, 2000 and began their life together in San Jose. Michael had never been to Disneyland and they went for the first time over the Christmas/New Year holiday in 2000. He was hooked and returned annually. Aiden arrived in 2003 and the family moved to Denver where Devin arrived in 2006. The family was completed and called themselves the Forner Four.

Michael worked for the Denver Regional Transportation District. He loved it and was in his happy place surrounded by trains, gadgets and technology.

He held many positions including: Pack Den Leader, Trainer, Cub Master, Day Camp Director, Woodbadge, Philmont, and so many more. Joining the Catholic Committee on Scouting was a great fit for him, balancing his faith and scouting. Michael was so proud of Aiden and Devin and talked at length about his future Eagle Scouts.

Mike joined the Knights of Columbus at St. Mary’s Catholic parish. You could always find him in the tent making burgers, brats and dipping fish at the fish fry’s.

Michael's lifelong interests were music, photography, graphic arts, computers, technology and tech gadgets, and a huge love of Disneyland.

He was a wonderful father and devoted husband and will be greatly missed.

Obituary:
Can't find obituary, it's been too long. Those who knew Dave (aka Journeyman) knew a guy who loved his family and friends, and had an easy way of making others/strangers feel comfortable around him. (unless he knew you and was being a spoon, arguing an opposite point just because he was in a mood LoL) Hard to believe it's been 20 years since one of the brothers from another mother left this place. Your humor and laugh til you snorted is missed, even your famous Frazier guilt trips lol....You're memory is secured on our annual golf trip since you last joined us way back when. Every year on one of the par three's we hit one of your old Cougar Rhythm irons you left us, in your memory. No hole in ones yet, but there's always next year!....Love ya and miss ya brother....Til we meet again....
