The Passing Of a Civil Rights Leader



I would like to remember a fallen soldier in civil rights who is Ken Chastain. He was a leader in civil rights and politics locally and nationwide. He aided the leaders that came from Dr. King's movement and fought against cancer bravely. Rest in peace to a fallen brother who is not forgotten. Ken Chastain. Services to be announced for next Tuesday.

Ken Chastain was a good man and great family man. He went to Iraq a couple of years ago and came back with his cancer. He will be mourned and honored. Rest in peace our brother. To his wife attorney Jeane Chastain, we love you and you and your family are in our prayers. You were his rock.

Thank you for honoring him Homero and perhaps you can do some radio on him if you can. Thank you.

Jeane my condolences to your family for a great loss. Ken was a fun loving guy. He was always the practical joker--but was very caring. I worked with Ken in the MHMR group home on Ave I in Robstown. Jeane, you and Ken were also very humble and giving individuals. I remember the many lunches and dinners that you and Ken had at your home and I was honored to be one of the guest.
My the Lord comfort you and your family in your time of sorrow
Love, Arturo Limon Jr.
