Only the good die young. You were great, always there for anyone when they needed you and always had the best advice and most importantly always knew how to have a good time. Otis, you will forever be missed. You touched everyone's lives and sure knew how to play one hell of a fiddle. Rock on.

Our most sincere sympathy to the Chrest family and all of Otis' dear friends.
We had the pleasure of Otis' company over New Year's Eve and through the following weekend. He and the boys celebrated and must have seen all their friends. They truely had a wonderful time and we have always enjoyed Otis' company. Otis was a wonderful person, will never be forgotten and always missed.
There are no words to describe the devastation we all felt when Otis was taken so quickly. Please...

Matt was a energetic leader for the supermileage team. A true craftsman at heart. It is a loss for our community that Matt is no longer with us. As his supermileage coach and teacher, I can guarantee our flags are at half mass for you Matt. Thank you for all the great memories and people you made a difference to.
