Chester Stone obituary

Chester Alexander Stone was born on May 31st, 1963 and sadly died on March 31st, 2024 at the age of 60.

Chester Stone, Super D or Chester Stone 745 was an American eccentric ex-Instagram personality, known for “recording whatever he wants, wherever he wants,” as Knowyourmeme described him.

Stone has garnered a big fanbase that supports him – constantly leaving messages to show their love for his content.

According to Knowyourmeme, “Chester Stone is an eccentric ex-Instagram personality, known for recording whatever he wants, wherever he wants.

“He has garnered a big fanbase that support him – constantly leaving messages to show their love for his content,” the website says.

“He has performed under the name ‘Super D’, creating a blend of reggae and hip-hop music, and has a released single with Rahim Samad. He still refers to himself in videos as ‘Super D’.

“Stone is homeless and lives in Tampa. He frequents Hope’s Food Store, where the owner is equally as eccentric as well,” the entry concludes.

Meanwhile back in 2020, a petition was started by fans of the Super D to have him voice a character in GTA VI.

The petition read: “Chester Stone is an entertainer on the social media platform Instagram under the handle @chesterstone745. He has built a fan base of over 124K and is very active with his individual fans.

“Chester likes to hang out at a Hope gas station in Tampa, Florida, where he films most of his videos and interacts with his fans. Chester Stone could provide the voice for a unique and mysterious character in the upcoming GTA VI,”

“Please be April Fools…” one comment we spotted on Reddit said.

April Fool’s

April Fools’ Day or All Fools’ Day is an annual custom on 1 April consisting of practical jokes and hoaxes.

Jokesters often expose their actions by shouting “April Fools!” at the recipient.

Mass media can be involved with these pranks, which may be revealed as such the following day.

The custom of setting aside a day for playing harmless pranks upon one’s neighbour has been relatively common in the world historically.

Although many theories have been proposed, the exact origin of April Fools’ Day is not exactly known.

A disputed association between 1 April and foolishness is in Geoffrey Chaucer‘s The Canterbury Tales (1392).

In the “Nun’s Priest’s Tale”, a vain cock Chauntecleer is tricked by a fox on “Since March began thirty days and two,” i.e. 32 days since March began, which is 1 April.

However, it is not clear that Chaucer was referencing 1 April since the text of the “Nun’s Priest’s Tale” also states that the story takes place on the day when the sun is “in the sign of Taurus had y-rune Twenty degrees and one,” which would not be 1 April.

Some historians suggest that April Fools’ originated because, in the Middle Ages, New Year’s Day was celebrated on 25 March in most European towns, with a holiday that in some areas of France, specifically, ended on 1 April, and those who celebrated New Year’s Eve on 1 January made fun of those who celebrated on other dates by the invention of April Fools’ Day.

Whilst Chester Stone’s death continues to be debated as to whether it was an April Fool’s or not, the likelihood of his passing becomes ever more probable as hours pass without any response to debunk the news.
