David was born on September 20, 1953, in Natchez, Mississippi, to L.C. and Evelyn Lester. Throughout his life, David lived on his own terms and embraced life in a way that was uniquely his. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend whose presence brought laughter, warmth, and unforgettable memories to those fortunate enough to know him.

David found joy in the simple things that made life meaningful. Whether he was tending to his garden, spending time on his tractor, or cruising down the road in his beloved hot rod, affectionately called “The Orange Beast.” He enjoyed gathering with friends for barbecues, sharing stories, cracking jokes, and laughing until the moment became a memory worth holding on to.

David was one of a kind. He had his own way of doing things, a personality that left a lasting impression, and a love for his family that will forever be a part of his legacy. Those who knew and loved him will remember the man behind those memories - the husband, father, grandfather, and friend who touched their lives simply by being himself.

Though his passing leaves a space that can never truly be filled, the love David shared and the memories he created will remain in the hearts of his family and friends and will continue to bring comfort and smiles to those who loved him. His life was filled with moments that will continue to bring smiles, stories that will be told for years to come, and a love that will never be forgotten. He will be remembered with love, missed beyond words, and cherished always. David’s life was a reminder that happiness can be found in the things we love, the laughter we share, and the people who make our lives meaningful.

David was preceded in death by his parents, L.C. and Evelyn Lester; his brother, Robert Lester; his sister, Reba Hoffman; and his daughter, Stacy Lester.

Those left to cherish his memory include his beloved wife of 30 years, Carroll Lester; his children, Kimberly Lester, Stephani Steinbeck, Crissy Davis, Chrisie Morales, Amy Barney, David Lester, James Harlan, Jennifer Everhart, and Kodee Lester; his sisters, Juanita Monahan and Linda Dyer; 18 grandchildren; numerous great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews; extended family members; and many dear friends who will forever hold him close in their hearts.
