Well. Being ran over for the first and only time in my entire high school career was very embarrassing. But if had to be done again i would want it to be chet. It was a very humbling moment to say the least. It was a trick play with big chet doing a end around and i was the linebacker on the opposing team. I went a 100 miles a hour at chet just as i would anyone else as soon as i saw him turn the corner knowing this was going to be the next David and goliath story. Well it didn't work out to be that way. Chet put his foot print all over the front of.my jersey before i saw from laying on my back him going into the end zone. Tiffany and Leon your brother is and always will be the greatest in my eyes. I was and still is his biggest fan. My love goes out too the entire family. He is in heaven now. I pray that i meet him again. But not on that 20 yard line. But were God have stored up mansions for us. Love yall and be strong. Remember. The battle is not yours. Its the Lord's. Jesus is the way the truth and light. No one comes to the father but by him. God bless

May God keep all of you strong. Chet's transition is a shock to us all, but God almighty has His own purpose. My prayers are with you. I met Chet at Leon many years ago in Bristol, Florida and still remember how cool and friendly they were.

Words cannot express the sadness I feel for two little girls that no longer are able to be in the presence of their earthly father. I lift them both up before the throne of grace and pray that the Living God will be their strength and their mother's strength in the days to come.

I will always be thankful for Chester and Tiffany's friendship. You both made high school special. I will never forget how awesome Chet made our 16th birthday party. He made the event so special just by being there with all of us to celebrate. Simply put, Chester was a wonderful human being. You will be deeply missed. May God bless the McGlockton family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I am just a regular guy, but Chester was a STAR in every sense of the word, yet he was the most humble and descent man I have ever known. He loved his Wife, girls, family and friends with a love only God could have shown and given unto him. I will always remember him as a STAR, but not of football...a STAR of God, annointed by God to show other men how to live and love according to God's word. I will miss you Chester.

I want to thank Chester for the time he spent with me when I was first traded to the Oakland Raiders. Traded from the Carolina Panthers, I was 3,000 miles from home and didn't know a soul. This guy that I didn't know and wasn't on team any more made time for me. Not often do men go out of their way to help another man especially a stranger. Thank you Chester for your kind heart, your memory will live as an Oakland Raider forever, but more important you will be in the hearts of RaiderNation and every person you came in contact with, including Jarrod Cooper.
