Deseret News (Salt Lake City), Dec 24, 2005
OREM -- Orem City Councilman Doug Forsyth, who will be remembered for never taking himself too seriously in the stern realms of politics, died Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2005. He was 62.
Mr. Forsyth was battling his third bout of leukemia. The first two times chemotherapy had successfully fought off the disease, and his family assumed this time would be the same.
"It was very unexpected," said Darren Forsyth, his son. "He had a clot in his lungs."
Mr. Forsyth was pronounced dead at 8:52 p.m. at Timpanogos Regional Hospital.
Mr. Forsyth lived in Orem for 35 years. He majored in sociology at Brigham Young University and was a pharmaceutical representative for 33 years for Ortho-McNeil Inc.
He was appointed to the City Council to fill a vacancy in July 2002. He was elected to fill the seat in November 2003. He represented the Sharon, Northridge and Sunset Heights neighborhoods.
A viewing is scheduled for Monday from 6-8 p.m. at Walker- Sanderson Mortuary, 646 E. 800 North, Orem. Funeral will be Tuesday at 11 a.m. at the LDS church at 200 N. 250 East, Orem.
