Chea cherished music, often finding joy in listening and dancing to its rhythms. He relished walking in nature, celebrating holidays and birthdays, and had a passion for dining out. A heartfelt fan of football, he loved the lively sounds of the bands as much as the game itself; and a love for Diet Coke
Chea is survived by his devoted family: five sisters, Angel Gilbert of Russellville; Jan Gilbert and her fiancé Robert of Houston, TX; Hope Gilbert, also of Houston, TX; Yvette Wright and her husband Deondrey of Conway; and Victoria Foster of Russellville. He also leaves behind three brothers, Chris Gilbert of Dallas, TX; Julius McVay of Tulsa, OK; and Kenny McVay of Tulsa, OK; nephew Tyre Crawford and many more nieces, nephews, family and friends.
