Chester C. Millirons Jr. was born January 17, 1945 to Chester C. Millirons, Sr. and Kathryn G. Millirons in Akron, Ohio. He was one of 5 children. Chester accepted Christ into his life at a very young age. He attended Akron Public Schools where he excelled in academics and sports (football, basketball and track). He graduated from East High School in 1964 and shortly thereafter secured a career as a welder with Babcock & Wilcox of Barberton, Ohio.
During his formative years, Chet aka Cheroot became an accomplished, championship winning coach. He coached for East Pee Wee, East Bantams, Northwest Hawks and a short stent with The CYO girls’ basketball league. If you were to ask around the city of Akron in reference to Cheroot, everyone would come to the same consensus. They would describe his perfectionist nature, great work ethic, perseverance, and that he was always up for a debate. He has been deemed by so many, as playing an intricate part in their lives and in the development of their athletic abilities.
His hobbies were sports, sports and more sports. Cheroot finally retired from Babcock & Wilcox in 1997. After retirement, you could find him glued to the TV watching a sporting event and ready for a debate with whomever was up for the challenge. He is also known for his love of tobacco products (cigars, snuff…etc.), in which his nickname was derived, Cheroot the Brute!
