A graduate of Jesup High School, Lester went on to serve his country honorably as a U.S. Air Force veteran, completing three tours in Vietnam. His time in the military instilled in him a sense of duty and responsibility that he carried throughout his life.

For over 30 years, Lester was the proud owner of Cain's Upholstery and Fabric Gallery in Beaufort, South Carolina, where he became known for his skilled craftsmanship and commitment to customer satisfaction. His work not only provided for his family, but also allowed him to connect with many people in the community who appreciated his talents and warm personality.

Faith was an essential cornerstone of Lester's life. He was a faithful member of the First United Pentecostal Church in Savannah, where he held various positions of leadership. He served as head usher, as trustee, and took great joy in teaching Bible Studies.

In addition to his professional and spiritual endeavors, Lester was also a published author, having written two books that reflected his life experiences and beliefs. He had a keen interest in current events and enjoyed watching Fox News, often engaging others in thoughtful discussions about the world around them.
