    My love and prayers go out to Chet's family. His passing came much too soon in life. He will always be missed by his wife and children, and grandchild, as well as all who knew and loved him. There are no words that can be spoken to change this fact. May God ease their pain as the family leans on each other for strength. I wish I could give Deb, Amy, Britni and Brent a hug full of love and condolences. Love....Venda

    Debbie and family, I was sincerely saddened to hear of your loss. Chet was a wonderful, friendly person who always had a smile and a kind word for those who knew him. It will take a long time for me to get used to not seeing him greeting folks at Walmart. It was such a pleasure to see him there almost every single time I stopped in. Blessings to all of you during this difficult time. Cherish the memories you have and hold tight to those, knowing Chet will be missed by many. -- Krystal
