CHESTER W. BRYANT 91, passed from this life Friday morning, March 22, 2013, in Webster.
Born June 15, 1921 in Seadrift, TX, Mr. Bryant had been a resident of Santa Fe for 38 years, previously of Hitchcock. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy during World War II as a Seabee with the 52nd Battalion before returning to civilian life and becoming a welder/boilermaker in 1953.
