Fmr. ACHS Baseball Player Killed In Weekend Wreck

Anderson County and Pigeon Forge High Schools are each mourning the loss of 20-year-old Jeremy Chesney, who was killed Sunday in a Sevier County traffic accident.  Chesney graduated from Anderson County two years ago after a standout baseball career and most recently had been serving as a volunteer assistant coach with the Pigeon Forge baseball team under his former coach at AC, Mike Guinn.  Chesney died after a Sunday afternoon accident in Sevierville in which the Jeep he had been a passenger in left the roadway near Hummingbird Lane and Kingfisher Avenue, ejecting both him and the driver, fellow Pigeon Forge assistant 20-year-old Wesley Teaster.  Teaster at last report was being treated at UT Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries.  Jeremy’s family will receive friends from 5 to 8 pm Thursday at the Powell Church at 323 Emory Road in Powell with the funeral service following in the chapel.  Graveside services will be conducted Friday morning at 11 am at Campbell Memorial Gardens in Jacksboro.  His family has requested that any memorials be made to either the Pigeon Forge High School baseball team or the Anderson County High School Baseball Booster Club.
