Forrest Goodman, a local radio voice who prepared Memphis Tiger sports fans with his pregame broadcasts and listened to callers after games for almost 20 years, died Monday night from multiple health problems.

The University of Memphis confirmed the broadcaster's death Tuesday afternoon.

"For many members of the Tiger family, Forrest Goodman has been the voice of the Memphis fans, before and after the game," Allie Prescott, the U of M's interim athletics director, said. "Our Tiger family offers its condolences to his family. "He was well-regarded and will be deeply missed."

Goodman, a native Memphian, recently completed his 19th season as the pregame and postgame host for Tiger football and basketball. Goodman also was the co-host of WREC AM 600’s  morning news program from 6-8.

The Memphis Tiger family is sad to share the news of the passing of Forrest Goodman. Forrest was the voice of many car rides to and from the game for our fans and hosted 100s of coaches shows. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. #TigerFam https://t.co/bHiEAf2C3N pic.twitter.com/Iokga80tWo
