Chester | Depression doesn’t really have a face or a mood

Three years later and I am still so sorry that he was suffering.

Chester was not only one of my favorite guys out there, but also a very gifted musician and a genuinely kind individual.

This in the videos below is Chester.

Chester smiling to his wife, Talinda, who was watching the show from the backstage.

36 hours from this moment he will hang himself.

But here, in these videos, the story is still unwritten: he didn’t choose that rope yet.

Here, in these videos, he is happy and looking forward to another day.

Chester having fun with his kids and friends. His wife, Talinda, recorded this 36 hrs before his suicide.

This is what depression looks like.

Contrary to popular belief, depression doesn’t really have a face or a mood.

And this is also why you should always be kind — because you never really know what lies beneath somebody’s happy face.

You are dearly missed, Chester.

That’s it. That’s the text.
