pastor cheshier did me right as a kid in fayetteville. god bless him.
Pastor Cheshier was my Pastor at Warwick Assenbly of God. All through my youth and young adult life he was my inspiration. Pastor & Sister Cheshier will never know how much they meant to me.
Pastor Cheshier inspired me like no pastor I've ever had. The "good ol' days" for me were the wonderful days when he was my pastor at Warwick Assembly. He was such a godly, loving, gentle man. My deepest sympathy to you, Sister Cheshier, and your family.
I attended Warwick Assembly when I was a very young girl up until I later moved away as a young adult. I remember when I was 8 years old. After each service at Warwick, Pastor Cheshier would shake hands with everyone at the exit doors to the church. He would often say to me "Hello Smiley!" To most people that may seem like such a small thing but to me at 8 he was amazing and he always had a way about him that made you really feel loved and special. I learned so much as a child sitting in that church listening to him preach. It is those teachings that Rev. Cheshier gave that have guided me as an adult. I will forever be thankful for his wonderful example. Some day, when it is my time to join all of those loved ones in heaven, I fully expect to see Pastor Cheshier standing there with the door open for me - saying "Hello Smiley!"
Dear Sister Cheshier,
What a man of God whom we just thought the world of. Such wisdom and knowledge from our heavenly Father. I am just amazed how much bro. Chesier was used of God in so many ways. Thank you for sharing with us all these years. I'll never forget the difference you both have made in my life and I will never forget Bro Cheshier and the impact he had on my father Robby Robinson in his illness. He touched all of our lives and I just loved it when he would get his leg going when he was preaching. He was one of our favorites.
Thank you to you both for all you have done through the years.
All our love,
He will be greatly missed but if only to see his face as he passed into heaven and saw his God for the first time and without pain for the first time in a long time.

I bet that leg is swinging freely now.
Divide and Multiply his favorite saying at Butterfield will never be forgotten either.
There are too many memories to list in this note, but we will be ever grateful that the Lord led us to Warwick Assembly of God so many years ago. The Fellowship we were in was having problems and we were told we should visit the little church on Harpersville Road, that the Pastor there was a Godly man who had such love for so many people. We discovered that one of his favorite hymns was Such Love. From the first night of our visit, we were welcomed with open arms. The very next weekend, you (Sis) and Pastor visited us and made it clear that as long as we attended Warwick he wanted us to consider him our Pastor. Fact is, we never left.
Dear Sis, we love you and cherish every wonderful memory of you and Brother Cheshier. Our prayers and love continue to go out to you and your wonderful family.
We wanted to stop by and pay our respects to Brother Cheshier. He was a man that we deeply respected and were saddened to hear had died. We pray that his family will find comfort from the Lord in the days, weeks and months to come. He will be missed by all. Those of us in the Saylor family wish the Cheshier family all the best.
God bless,
Ryan, Jessica, Daniel and Barbara
I have and always will remember Brother Cheshier as the man who told me enough about JESUS that I gave my life to him. He was also the man that baptised me and made sure I knew what I was doing before he did. I guess it was only fair that he got to meet JESUS before me, but he will be missed! I send my love to his family, especially Sister Chesier. Gilbert in PA
Sister Cheshier, Jim, Kathy, and families, As I write this my eyes are full of both happy and sad tears. Sad because of your loss, and happy because of the rejoicing I know is taking place in heaven at the return home of Brother Cheshier.
Praises be to GOD!
I personally want to thank God for the blessings of Brother & Pastor Cheshier's Ministies, Teachings and Love.
Only eternity will tell what his impact on my life and so many others will be.
Truly, He will be missed.
so sad for your loss and so thankful that your loved one is in heaven
may God's grace shine upon your family
