Lester Shaver Obituary

Lubbock- Lester was born September 23, 1934 to Leland and Roberta Capshaw Shaver in Hockley County, 3 miles east of Ropesville. Soon, he and his family moved to Lockettville. Lester's brother Alton Ray joined the family in June, 1936. In 1945, his brother Sidney Wayne was born, and later that year the family moved to Estacado, Texas. In 1946 they moved to Lubbock. In 1948, his youngest brother Jerry Dale was born. In 1953, Lester married Carol Ann Looney, and later that year, Debra Ann was born. In 1955, Karen Gayle was born. Then came 9 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren. Surely God has directed his life beautifully.

In Lester's early adult days, he was in the construction industry (flooring and tile).

In 1970, Lester joined Ron Betenbough in several real estate ventures. Preble Davis joined the company and later became a partner in Estates Trust, Inc.

Lester died May 29, 2018 at the age of 83. He dedicated his body to science.

If Lester has touched your life in any way, come and joyfully celebrate our lives with Jesus.

Family and friends will gather to celebrate his life of 83 years on Saturday, June 23, 2018, at 11 a.m., at Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers, 6025 82nd Street, Lubbock, Texas.

I last saw and talked with Lester after my father died five years ago and enjoyed talking with him. He was a nice man. We knew him and his brothers from childhood, when Lester worked with my dad on construction jobs. They later co-owned The Hobby Shop, model race cars, on fourth street in Lubbock. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

Our family knew and loved Lester since we were children. He was like an uncle to us and we always had fun with him. Will miss you, dear Lester!

Lester was more than a good friend, Lester was like a brother. We were in each others lives for 68 years. So much laughter, tears and a few bad words pasted between us during those years. One thing we have discussed over the past few years is how we know that we will meet again. Thank the good Lord for that promise.
