After marrying and moving to VA, Chester still enjoyed making his weekly trip to WV. He was a very devoted son and continued to run the family farm after his father’s death. He was a Grade A operator with VDOT and retired after 30 years of service.  After retirement, Chester enjoyed going back to have morning coffee with his friends at VDOT.  He also enjoyed riding his dune buggy around town and going to tractor and truck pulls with his buddy, Jake. In addition to his wife and mother, he is survived by two daughters, Adrienne Moats and Airiana Campbell and her husband, Matt, all of Staunton; two grandchildren, Brianna and Isaiah; a brother, Anthony Moats of Moyers, WV; two sisters, Cephornia Smith of Harrisonburg and Joyce Moats of Columbia, SC; a sister-in-law, Debra Ziccardy of Staunton; two brothers-in-law, Frank and Daniel Bowles; a special uncle, Leroy Moats of Staunton, who was like a brother to him. He is also survived by nieces and many other family members. He is preceded in death by a brother, Dennis Moats and a sister, Gloria Moats. A memorial service will be conducted at a later date in WV.
