Chester Wayne Carden, age 73 of Bremen, passed away Thursday, May 8, 2025.  Born in Pulaski County, Missouri, he was the son of the late Tom Watson Carden and the late Betty Jo Carden. 

In addition to his parents, Wayne is preceded in death by his sister, Nancy Gillespie.

Wayne spent most of his life as a master plumber being licensed in Georgia, Alabama and doing business as West Georgia Plumbing.  A  simple man and a country boy at heart, Wayne enjoyed watching his westerns and being outdoors, whether he was on a lake fishing or camping. 

He was an avid Georgia Bulldogs fan and also enjoyed watching NASCAR.  His Harleys were his favorite mode of transportation.  Wayne spent many hours at “The Hitchin Post 55” playing pool and being with his friends.  He also spent several years as the grounds keeper of the VFW Post #7402 in Buchanan.

Wayne was a devoted follower of Christ and loved spending time with his children, grandchildren, and his closest friends. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. 

Left to cherish his memories are his children: Jessica Carden of Miami Beach, Florida, Jaclyn & Mike Addeo of Sebastian, Florida, and Donald Ridley of Alabama; his grandchildren: Cayden Kukreja, Anthony Addeo and Christopher Addeo; as well as many extended family members and friends.

A celebration of Wayne’s life will be held on Thursday, May 15, 2025, at 4:00 PM at Hutcheson’s Memorial Chapel.  The family will receive friends on Thursday from 3:00 PM until 4:00 PM.
