RIP Chester

[Civ'ed]

Apparently, Chester died yesterday.
For those of you who never frequented chat, Chester was a Romanian. He had leukemia, and...
Christ I don't know what to say.
Chester, I think Joan said it best. You were an annoying brat, but you were our annoying brat. IOT wouldn't have been IOT without you.
I hope you are feasting with the heroes in Valhalla.

RIP Chester, you magnificent bastard.
You shall not be forgotten.

 

[SouthernKing]

You'll never be forgotten, Chester.

rest in peace

RIP Chester. I know we had our differences, but I enjoyed being around you every second of it. We will never forget you and your creations.

Everyone goes. I guess it had to be you. If there was ever friendship between you and other IOTers, it sure must have been a love-hate relationship. Amazing perhaps, how a Romanian guy we never met and which we didnt even like that much sometimes has been even to affect us, like this.

If there is an afterlife and you are watching, you definitely must be laughing with contempt at this. Like I always thought you seemed to do in chat. Farewell.

Rest in peace, Chester...you weren't always my favorite when I first met you, but you've been a damn good friend and a memorable IOTer. Shine on, you magnificent bastard.

Weird, brash, playful, macabre, sometimes off-colour, undoubtedly creative, and nothing if not memorable. My greatest regret is I never finished reviewing Sonny. Odihneşte-te în Pace.

My heart goes out to Lydia G; no parent should have to bury her child.

Rest in Piece Chester.

We had our differences and arguments, but I am truly deeply saddened to see you go.

I hope you are in a better place now.

I'm sorry I never got Terran IOT back up

 

[Bair_the_Normal]

Sudden news for myself. Despite our personal differing views, the loss of one I may call a friend is a true loss indeed.

Odihnească-se în pace, Alexandru. Pentru totdeauna în inimile noastre, drag prietenul nostru.

RIP Chester, you will be missed.

 

[NinjaCow64]

I am truly sorry to see you go. Although we had major disagreements at times, you were and always will be an IOTer. I sincerely hope you are in a better place.

Well this is really surreal. Is there a source or did he just say "if I don't contact you in X days I'm probably dead?"

A "in memorium" post was made to his Facebook that Cived caught.

Damn.

Rest in peace, Chester. We won't forget you.

I may not have know him well, but I never found any reason not to think he was a completely decent human being.

RIP, mate.

In addition to the Facebook post, he'd told me a few weeks before he died that he knew it would happen any day. He survived a lot longer than anyone thought he would.

That seems appropriate, given his country of birth.
