Asher Lester

Asher Wayne Lester, seven months, of Poplar died Jan. 17, 2025.

He was born June 13, 2024, to Fred Lester and Avery Azure. In his seven months of life, he was full of smiles, laughter and sweet baby kisses with a love that radiated throughout the whole room.

He loved being in his swing that his father hung from the living room ceiling. He loved his tummy time, which quickly became him learning to Army crawl throughout the house playing with his toys. He loved cuddles with his parents, playing with his brothers while chasing them around in this walker. He was so fast; he zoomed all over in that thing!

He loved his adventures out to Grandma Brandy’s,

where he knew he wouldn’t let her have empty arms. He was definitely the boss. Asher started rolling over at four months old, which came with two little teeth, then he was Army crawling by six months old.

He is survived by his parents; five brothers, Sebastian, Roman, Kade, Nixon and Urijah; grandparents, Brandy Smith, Durand Zoanni, Sissy and Butch Little and Calvin Lester; and great-grandparents Kate Murray, Sandy Azure and Darlene Lefthand.

Funeral services were held Tuesday, Jan. 28, at the Poplar Cultural Center. Interment was in the Poplar City Cemetery. Clayton Stevenson Memorial Chapel has been entrusted with arrangements.
