Brown of Buffalo.
Chet died faithful as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. He and his wife moved to Fairfield in 2002 to assist in the preaching activity of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Prior to that, he worked as a computer F oster programmer and a restaurant owner in New Mexico. He retired in 2020 from Fairfield ISD as a bus driver after 13 years. He was well loved by all that knew him. A dear friend in New Mexico stated: “I looked at him as another Dad to me. He was special in so many ways and was such a great example in Jehovah’s service.”
He will truly be missed by all that knew him and loved him, especially his family, both fleshly and Christian.
A memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12, at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses. 1518 N. Buffalo Ave., Buffalo.
