Chester served as an Airman 2nd Class in the United States Air Force and was a skilled worker in Assembly & Technician at Harris Broadcast. Known for his infectious humor and loving nature, Chester brought joy and laughter to all who knew him.
An avid outdoorsman, Chester’s passion for raising blue healer dogs, horses, and mules, especially his beloved mule Bud and horse Cricket, was well-known. His talent with leather and saddles was unmatched, and he took pride in his affinity for Allis Chambers and International Harvester tractors. Chester’s love for hunting deer, coons, and trap shooting was only matched by his enjoyment of fish fry’s, homemade ice cream, and the classic country tunes of Merle Haggard and George Jones.
Chester will be remembered for his knack for telling the funniest dirty jokes and the most puzzling riddles. He left every conversation with a heartfelt “I Love You,” leaving a legacy of kindness and warmth. His funny, loving, and handy spirit will be deeply missed by all.
Pallbearers will be Danny Prisner, Camerson Prisner, Renzie Cottrell, Craig Berghager, Brodie Berghager, Ben Cottrell, Tyler Martin, and Josh Murphy.
