Our family extends our deepest condolences. Chet was like a brother to me. I am still in shock over his premature departure. Chet was a very honest and motivated young man, there is not enough room for me to write all the quality traits my brother had. You have raised a very respectable man. We will keep you in our prayers. The Mark A. Walker Family.

I am so sorry and so very saddened to hear of Chet's passing. I've known him for over ten years and was always amazed by his compassion, empathy and understanding he demonstrated toward everyone who crossed his path. I hope the comfort he leant to me in my and others' times of need, are brilliantly reflected to your family, in yours. He was an awesome man and a great example of a human being who always shined and smiled with every step and I'm confident, he's shining and smiling down on all of us now!

Chet was one of the kindest, most caring, most respectful young men I have ever met. It is with deep sadness I will never be graced with his physical presence again.
