Chester L. "Butch" Estes Jr.

I served with a Chester (Butch) Estes in Vietnam in 1969. He was a good friend. We were with A/7/11 Arty 25th Inf Div. Is this the same Butch? Thanks for your help. I'm trying to find some ol' friends, We had several tough times.

Daddy,

Things have been so hard since you passed. I wish you were here to give me advice and help me get through all of this pain. The kids and I miss you something terrible but we will be ok. I know that you are with me spiritually every day or I could not get though this. My love and my grief for you is unending. I can't believe it been almost a year. It feels like yesterday. I know I will see you again someday and until then I hope that I am making you proud by doing the...

Butch, It has been a nearly a year since you left your earthly home. It hasn't been the same. You were my Big Brother, my best friend, and my protector. You also shared so many interests with me and Curt. You were always a Family Man. I'm doing my best to take up your slack now that you can't do it anymore. Sara and your kids miss you more than you can ever know. I will always miss and love you!!! Your son looks more and more like you each and every day and is taking your place by being...

My Brother
How do you say goodbye to a brother like you,
It is just impossible to do!
There's no way you'll ever be gone,
With this much love to carry on.

You were there through the great times and there for the bad,
Also the happy and the sad.
But even when the times were tough,
We knew your love was strong enough.

When the Lord took you home we all knew,
He had a bigger job for you to do!
We all will miss you until the time,
You help us walk...

WE HAD ALOT OF THINGS IN COMMON THAT WE NEVER GOT AROUND OF DISCUSSING HERE ON EARTH MAYBE WE WILL LATER WHEN WE MEET AGAIN.I LOVE YOU BUTCHIE I WILL MISS YOU VERY MUCH.

Butch, your passing sure has left a hole in all our lives. We grieve for ourselves, though, because you are in a much better place than we are and I know that you are no longer in pain. I never got the chance to thank you for all you've done for us over the years, but most especially your advice and counsel to Danny when we were having problems recently.

Sara, Mel, Pal and LaDonna - don't forget we all love you. You don't have to go through this alone. Just say the word and we'll...
