He was a carpenter with a swift "eye" for measurements. One never knew what his creative mind would build or what unique ideas he had in mind for fixing a problem. He had a passion for raising chickens, as well as, bluegrass music, fishing and hunting. He enjoyed spending time in the woods with life-long friends: Ron, Donnie, Dale and Tim. Chester loved to laugh and always had a good story to share with his closest friends. His optimistic, fearless and stoic outlook on life never presented him with a challenge. Chester lived every day to the fullest doing what he loved the most. His smile and one of kind personality brought such happiness to all.
