I was one of the wound care clinical nurses that had the honor to care for Chester McMahon. He was the personification of bravery. I have been a nurse for 38 years. He will always remain the most favorite of all of my patients over my career span. A true family man and a gentleman. I still think of him and this video brought tears to my eyes. May we all be so brave in the face of death.
 God Bless You Chester- and I know you are resting in peace.
Sincerely, Michelle Glowala RN, Beamont Dearborn, Dearborn Michigan Orthopedics.

Grandpa, the thing I admired most about you was the carefree way you looked at life and how you always went with the flow.  You never complained about anything and seemed to truly enjoy life and all those you shared it with. Thank you for all the memories and traditions that you helped to create.  I will cherish them always.  Even though you decided that you were ready to leave this party, you took a piece of my heart with you.   I love you and will miss you terribly!

Great-Grandpa, I miss you but I know you are in a better place. I love you

Dad I am truly honored to have had you in my life not only as my father in law but as my Dad. You will always be in my heart. Love you, Lena

The Health Care Profesional Staff at ST John Macomb Hospital were all touched by the kind and gentle spirit of Chester McMahon. He was one of our "favorite" patients. Despite his medical trials, he remained steadfast, positive and loved by all who entered his room to provide care for him. He never complained about his serious health issues but rather bravely faced them "head on" He was a true Gentleman in every sense of the word. His spirit and determination touched all of us including his wonderful doctors- DR Steven Plomaritis, the Orthopedic Surgeon who saved Chester's life that fateful,DR Sumair Sheikh Internal Medicine who cared and advocated for Chester throughout his most difficult times, and DR Victor Redondo , Infectious Diseases who worked hand in hand with his doctors to meticulously manage his clinical issues. The Nursing staff nicknamed Chester "SUPERMAN" and wrote it on his board in his room for all to see due to his bravery amidst crisis.He earned this title by facing death in the eye, refusing to give in without putting up a good fight which he won until he was ready to leave the earthly world to join his wife. The nurses bore witness to the love that Chester freely gave to his family, all who helped him and that love that he in turn received from his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
 Blessings to his family. We know he left you all better by having him in your lives. 
He certainly insired all of us. 
I'm sure the Lord is proud of the life he lead and how he treated others. Well Done Chester!.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!Rest in Peace.
