Thoughts and prayers to Missy and family.

Missy, so sorry to hear about Chetty. Even though I have not seen Chetty in recent years I will not forget him. We basically grew up together playing football at James Wood. I can still see him at Charlestown high school and him running off tackle and him losing his helmet he got hit several times but he still scored. What a fighter. Chetty, I loved you like a brother and I will never forget you. Love Earl.

Chetty, You truly have been a beautiful blessing to me and my family. We had great times together and I have wonderful memories. I love you very very much and I always will. With love your sister Juanita.

Worked with Chetty many years at Potomac Edison ... always a smile on his face ... so sorry for your loss

He was certainly a very special person who truly made everyone feel at home. His sense of humor could not be matched. We exchanged many quips over the years but he always won! I will miss him, but will smile every time I think of him as I always have.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

My Sincere condolences to Family and friends, an old classmate 🙏

Chetty is, and will always be, my Ferrum brother. I will tell you that all those stories are true. Maybe embellished a little but true. There is only one Chetty and we all love him. Rest in peace, Chetty. See you on the other side.

Chetty, Go rest high on that mountain. I will always remember our memories growing up in the "good ole days". Rip my friend.

Look out Heaven above, you are receiving one of the greatest joke and story tellers Frederick County has ever known!! Ole' Chester will always be in our hearts.

Are heartfelt sympathy, hugs & love is sent to all the family during this very difficult time. Chetty touched so many lives as you are so well aware and of course we are just two of those many…. Family gatherings & celebrations, running into Chetty was always enlightening and historic harassment when he was a lineman or at a job site with Allegheny Power. What a Special loving family to say the least. You will be missed Chetty♥️

My brother and I grew up in the same country neighborhood of Stephenson as Chetty. Memories of how his Mom and Dad and how kind they were. Chetty was always positive. Never a bad time when Chetty was around. Such a good friend in our younger years and a good person. Nora and I enjoyed Chetty and Missy’s company when we shared time together so many years ago. Good people. Our sincere condolences go out to Missy and family.

Rest in peace my friend

My love to all the family. About 15 years ago Chetty went on a Ryder Cup head to head team vs team tournament in the Tri Cities of Washington State. Chetty had no idea about the competition he was just there having a good time. He would not care about his score. His comeback from a 8 foot putt might be 12 feet. He was such a joy on that trip he was just enjoying time with his son Chris and his friends. He had zero care about the outcome. I am blessed to have known Chetty. He was a what you see what you get guy. I don’t think you could embarrass Chetty. He was a pretty free soul. God speed Chetty, love you!!! Brian Harris

Thoughts and prayers to the family. ✝️ God bless you. Sincerely, Libby

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
