Next to his family, Chester's love was truck driving, which had been his line of work for a combined total of 40+ years. Many times, he would look at Kira and say "I get to drive truck today."However, his greatest Love was the Lord Jesus Christ, whom he placed all of his trust in as Lord and Savior of his life at the age of 51 years. His love for his Savior was evident right to the end and witnessed by many. He was loved both in heaven and on earth. He will be greatly missed.He is survived by his wife, children and grandchildren, his brothers, Ron (Barbara) and Ken (Glenda), his brothers-in-law, Glenn (Elaine), Mike (Carol), his nieces and nephews, as well as many dear friends.
