Lord Jesus our Savior, rest the soul of Thy servant Chester with the saints and bless all righteous soldiers.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

May he join his brothers in a happy hunting ground. RIP

A post in the article states that Nez actually died earlier this year in June.
