Sad news. The first time I ever saw him I walked by him on campus when he was a true freshman. He was the biggest person I'd ever seen in my life. He was a great player. Sorry for his family and Clemson.

Oh, man... this is a shock. He was a great one, along with Levon, Buckner and the other great defense we had back then. My condolences and prayers go out to this family.

I remember hearing Coach Hatfield speak about Chester. He said he told Chester that it was only one person who could stop him. When Chester asked CH who it was, CH said yourself.
RIP

Really nice kid. Of course, at the time, I was pretty much just a really nice kid as well.

Still have a vivid memory of him sacking Major Harris in the endzone and me yelling "get on the ball" as it was just laying there for the taking for that split second before big Chester fell on it for a TD....so sad that he leaves us so early in his life. Was a great one!

No doubt it was a massive heart attack. An attack on any part of his body would have to be massive. I walked by him on campus once and got caught up in his gravitational pull. I orbited him all the way across the library ramp.

He was a finance major, or at least class attender, while I was at Clemson. He would constantly show up for class, pull his hat in front of his face, and sleep the hour away.
I faced him many times on the basketball pickup courts at Fike, I always played the ole' defense when he wanted to drive the lane.
One of the funniest memories in my Clemson memory was watching him squeeze into the front seat of my friend's Honda Prelude to hitch a ride home for break. It was more the pair of this little southern sorority girl driving this large man that engulfed the passenger seat.
RIP Chester
