Chester you are more loved than you know and more important than you might have thought. I just want to say thank you to you, Linkin Park and all of your families for letting us fans share your joy & light with all of us. I grew up with you guys since I was 13 & now I am 31. You got me through some hard moments & I can never repay you for it. I would sleep to your voice. When people would ask me why I liked LP…I would say their words matter. I was bad at explaining how I felt & you would sing exactly what I couldn’t put into words. I miss your energy, your laugh, your smile, your thoughtfulness, and your jokes. Linkin Park was never a band to me but home…it felt like family after 17 years. I remember the morning you passed I couldn’t sleep that night…I kept tossing and turning…I had a bad feeling in my stomach that something was wrong. I had a weird feeling that someone I loved or held close to my heart was going to commit suicide. I can’t explain it…it came out of nowhere and I just started looking at names in my phone…I had an urgency to call someone but I didn’t know whom. I think this may of been your way of saying goodbye…I knocked out of exhaustion…and woke up late to a lot of missed calls, texts and so forth asking if I was okay and if I heard the news. I was in shocked and crying for days…I still feel this is a dream. I was suppose to see you guys in Oct. 22 and I had a weird feeling I wasn’t going to go…i even told my mom…I think something might happen to the band before then…the last months haunted me and my worst fear came true. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you the way you helped me…many times. I will continue to pray for you and your love ones & the LP family. You guys don’t owe us anything but given so much of yourselves to your fans…calling us kids…I am truly grateful for that. You were a light in a dark world…your legacy lives on with all the lives you touched…I will always think of you…and will remain a LP fan no matter what the band decides to do. I hope you find peace. Thank you Chester, LP, and family.
