Chester O. Sims

“Find your style and stick to it.” - Manolo Blahnik What a great pleasure it’s been to see you grow and mature. You have accomplished much in your educational and sports career. I was excited to follow your career as you grew each year. You should be very proud of yourself to have stuck with the “goal” to succeed at a higher level in all your endeavors. I am proud to call you my grandson and I know your life will be successful from your continued dedication to succeed. Sorry we cannot be there to see you graduate and accomplish that goal of higher achievement. I love you and I will be here if you need a helping hand or just need a friend. - Love, Greggie

“To live a good life: We have the potential for it. If we can learn to be indifferent to what makes no difference.” – Marcus Aurelius - Love, Jordan

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals ” – Henry David Thoreau

You are a very bright light that shines with positive energy and love It's difficult to find adequate words to express the depth of my love pride and joy watching you grow and flourish over the course of your life Your achievement of reaching this important milestone is the foundation to continue to reach for and realize your hopes and dreams I love you tons - Love, Mother

To God be the glory for the things He has done! Putting in words the honor you deserve is such a difficult task. It is like honoring a rare gem for being impeccable and magnificent. How does one really accomplish such a task? Son, we can't begin to tell you just how loved you are and how PROUD of you we are! Truthfully, to tell you we are proud doesn’t even begin to express the pride and joy we have for you. YOU did it, Trey! You honored both of your grandfathers and great-grandmother by completing your degree in four years. Above all, you keep your promise to your Pops and your namesake, Chester O. Sims, Sr. Now, you are about to start one of the biggest adventure in life…GRAD SCHOOL! If asked to describe you the words God-fearing conqueror, intelligent, quiet, kind, supportive, well-mannered, witty, and a GREAT son immediately come to mind. Yet, there is another word that represents your life...INTEGRITY. We have witnessed your determination to do what is right no matter the consequence or reward, make decisions wise beyond your years, and we marveled at your ability to remain humble with all of your achievements. We are thankful God gave you to us, as we have had the privilege of watching you serve others by "doing justly, loving mercifully, and walking humbly with our God." In times where we have been separated by distance the past four years, we have always left you with the phrase, “May the blood of Jesus cover you and make smart choices” to remind you that you are not only the younger brother of Brandon and the youngest child of Chester and Carrie, but more importantly a child of God. While we are excited to see what your future holds, we know that His plans have been made for you since before you were born (Jeremiah 29:11). The greatest fulfillment in life is when you acknowledge God and seek His kingdom first. He will always make your path straight in order for you to be a blessing to others. Although you will see your family cry, rest assured the tears are full of life, joy, and memories. Most of all, the tears are anticipation of the journey which is ahead for you. Your life has a purpose. You are destined for great things son! Always remember that God is good, merciful, and almighty! Continue to grow in Christ and serve as an example of what it looks like to live life humbly in the overflow of favor and blessings ordained just for you! Congratulations and we love you to life Trey!
