The Bible says, “blessed are those that die in the Lord.” Revelation 14:13 Lester believed and shared that the Bible is true from Genesis to Revelation and that each person should first pray, then read it for themselves, asking God to give understanding. Within 30-45 minutes of the service’s conclusion, he passed away. Lester chose to participate in the service, rededicating his life to the Lord. When she brought the sacrament to him, she explained that taking the emblems of Christ blood and body was like a ‘miniature baptism’. On January 30, Lester’s aunt, Nancy Stewart, encouraged him to join in the virtual communion service. During the final three weeks of his life, through much pain and discomfort, Lester continued to share with family and friends about how he was trying to get his life together and how they should, too. Lester felt a determination to renew his connection to the Lord. Lester often talked to his sister about heaven and what things he would be doing there. He began to call his childhood friends from church and talk to them about the Bible. He wanted to be sure that every statement and story he shared from the Bible was true. He began calling his cousins and aunts, his sister-in-law, and other church members to ask questions about the Bible to make sure he was on the right track. After that, each time she would flush the toilet, Tiffiney would say, "Uncle Lester, here it comes!"Īfter his older brother's death in July 2020, Lester seemed more urgent in his need to share with his friends and cousins about Noah's ark and other Bible stories.

He also worked for 25 years at Avery Dennison as a lift machinist and later at Meridian Water Treatment Plant. He worked for several years as the assistant women's basketball coach at Meridian Junior College. Lester graduated from Meridian High School in 1981 and majored in Business at Meridian Junior College.

He would often tell people he talked to about the Bible and about the love of Jesus Christ, God the Father and the Holy Spirit, lessons that stuck with him for life.
