Chester Jennings Holbrook

Kernersville – Chester “Pops” Jennings Holbrook, 61, went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, surrounded by his loving family at Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home. He was born on July 31, 1962, in Mercer County, WV to the late Harold and Betty Lou Jackson Holbrook. Chester was a strong-willed, hard-working man. He was an avid bowler and loved watching his North Carolina Tar Heels play basketball. Chester was servant of the Lord, once serving as a deacon and treasurer for Unity Baptist Church in Winston-Salem. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend, who will surely be missed by so many.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his father-in-law, Ira Bill Largen.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 31 years, Cathy Holbrook; three children, Anthony Myers (Jeanne), Val Nestoryak, and Brian Holbrook (Kayla); seven grandchildren, Paden Myers, Mercedes Myers, Kaitlyn Myers, Madi Nestoryak, Mia Nestoryak, Landon Holbrook, and Gavin Holbrook; mother-in-law, Eyvonne Largen; and two sisters-in-law, Crystal Jones (Bobby), and Renee Zell (Ed).
