According to the Air Force Special Operations Command website, "Mark believed with all his heart in serving his God, his country and his family," said Maj. Edmund Loughran, 21 STS acting commander. "The unit mourns his loss, but we could not be more proud of his devotion to defending what he believed in most."

The Air Force Times says Forester was a devout Mormon with a close-knit family according to his friend Michael Andrew.
