Born on October 7, 1982, in Elk City, Oklahoma, Lester grew up in Hammon, Oklahoma, where he graduated in 2001. From a young age, he embraced the hardworking values of rural life, working in the oil fields and assisting with ranch duties, where he became known for his dedication and willingness to help others.

In 2019, he married Megan Rumbaugh Parker, and together they have two children: Parker Royce, born in 2021, and Elizabeth "Lizzy" Grace, born in 2023. The family attended Grandview Church in Elk City.

In 2019, Lester joined Riverfront Ranch under the guidance of Deryl Parker. Lester had a deep love for the outdoors, finding joy in hunting, fishing, trapping, and roping. His sense of humor and infectious laughter brought light to every room he entered.

Lester was known for his protective nature, always putting the safety and well-being of his loved ones first. Whether it was ensuring his family's security or offering a helping hand to those in need, his protective instincts were a testament to his deep care and commitment.

Lester's legacy is one of hard work, humor, and love for his family and community. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
