the medical examiner-coroner, confirmed that a half-full bottle of alcohol was
found at the scene, but no other drugs were present.
At a young age he had begun to engage with drugs due to the
influence of people around him. He once said in his interview “I was a lot more confident when I was

stopping drinking or dying. He did some counseling with the guys and they told
Chester how they felt.He wrapped up his interview with Rock Sound magazine “So,
it’s really great to be able to be doing what I do, especially for a person
like me. If it wasn’t for music I’d be dead. One hundred percent”.
Dear Chester,
Our hearts are broken. The shock waves of grief and denial
are still sweeping through our family as we come to grips with what has
happened.
You touched so many lives, maybe even more than you
realized. In the past few days, we’ve seen an outpouring of love and support,
both public and private, from around the world. Talinda and the family
appreciate it, and want the world to know that you were the best husband, son,
and father; the family will never be whole without you.
Talking with you about the years ahead together, your
excitement was infectious. Your absence leaves a void that can never be
filled—a boisterous, funny, ambitious, creative, kind, generous voice in the
room is missing. We’re trying to remind ourselves that the demons who took you
away from us were always part of the deal. After all, it was the way you sang
about those demons that made everyone fall in love with you in the first place.
You fearlessly put them on display, and in doing so, brought us together and
taught us to be more human. You had the biggest heart, and managed to wear it
on your sleeve.
Our love for making and performing music is
inextinguishable. While we don’t know what path our future may take, we know
that each of our lives was made better by you. Thank you for that gift. We love
you, and miss you so much.
Until we see you again,
LP.
