Craig Chesters, Crewe, England—It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Craig Chesters, who left us on August 3, 2024, after a courageous battle with bowel cancer since May. Craig was a cherished member of the Nando’s team, known for his infectious smile and zest for life.
Craig began his Nando’s journey in January 2018 as an Assistant Manager and quickly became a beloved figure in several restaurants, starting in Crewe, then moving to Stoke Potteries, Stafford, and finally returning to Crewe. His enthusiasm, positivity, and dedication to his work and colleagues were unmatched.
Anne Shields, the Patrao of Crewe Nando’s, shared her heartfelt tribute on a GoFundMe page, "Craig was a passionate and positive human whose smile and enthusiasm for life were contagious to everyone around him." Anne continued, "He never failed to bring laughter into any room he walked into, from baking the most delicious brownies for us all to telling stories of his passion for travel and his terrible jokes."
The fundraiser, organized by Anne Shields, aims to support Craig’s family with funeral expenses. So far, £240 has been raised out of the £1,000 goal, with contributions from many who knew and loved Craig. David Buckley, Emily Hollinshead, and James Green were among the donors, with Emily giving the top donation of £50.
Craig’s passing has deeply affected his wife Rachel, his family, friends, and the Nando’s community. The void left by his absence is palpable, but the memories and joy he brought to everyone will forever be cherished.
On Facebook, many shared their condolences and memories. Annie Carden expressed, "It’s with a heavy heart that I share this. Craig’s bright spirit touched so many of us, and now we have a chance to support his family in honoring his memory." Kerry-Ann Dynan and Robyn Jones also conveyed their sympathy, acknowledging Annie’s beautiful tribute to Craig.
Craig’s kindness, caring nature, and his ability to spread joy even during his own struggles will always be remembered. His legacy is one of love, laughter, and selflessness.
We are deeply saddened by Craig Chesters’ passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.
