Lester's memory will be honored by his two grandchildren, Angelo and Aliyah; his niece, Beatrice Nelson; and his nephews, Lucas Nelson, Jr., Ricky Nelson, and Julian Nelson. Lester's cherished sweetheart, Casidee Brooks, their precious dogs, Wally and Skinny Minnie will keep Lester forever in their hearts. He will be missed very much, everyday.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Robert Daniels, Sr. and Beatrice (Nelson) Black; and his paternal grandparents, Herman & Myrtle (Black) Daniels Sr. and maternal grandparents, Lester & Mariane (Moses) Nelson.
