聯合公園在官方臉書上發表一則長文，悼念查斯特，文中指出所有團員對於他的離去都非常震驚，至今都無法相信他已經離開了，「你感動了這麼多人，或許比你所知道的還多。在過去幾天，我們看到來自世界各地的愛以及支持，無論是透過私人方式傳來的，或是公開表達都很多。」
聲明中，聯合公園的團員們大讚查斯特是個「有活力、有趣、有野心、有創意、善良慷慨的人」，而這麼好的一個人卻從他們生命中消失，「沒了你我們就不完整，你的缺席留下了一個無法填補的空虛。」除此之外，文內也指出是「惡魔」帶走了查斯特，但同時查斯特也因為唱出這些「惡魔」，讓全世界愛上他們的音樂，「你從不畏懼將它們呈現出來，將我們團結在一起，教會我們如何變得更人性化。」字裡行間流露出滿滿的不捨，逼哭不少粉絲。

聯合公園聲明全文：
Dear Chester,
Our hearts are broken. The shockwaves of grief and denial are still sweeping through our family as we come to grips with what has happened.
You touched so many lives, maybe even more than you realized. In the past few days, we’ve seen an outpouring of love and support, both public and private, from around the world. Talinda and the family appreciate it, and want the world to know that you were the best husband, son, and father; the family will never be whole without you.
Talking with you about the years ahead together, your excitement was infectious. Your absence leaves a void that can never be filled—a boisterous, funny, ambitious, creative, kind, generous voice in the room is missing. We’re trying to remind ourselves that the demons who took you away from us were always part of the deal. After all, it was the way you sang about those demons that made everyone fall in love with you in the first place. You fearlessly put them on display, and in doing so, brought us together and taught us to be more human. You had the biggest heart, and managed to wear it on your sleeve.
Our love for making and performing music is inextinguishable. While we don’t know what path our future may take, we know that each of our lives was made better by you. Thank you for that gift. We love you, and miss you so much.
Until we see you again,
LP
