Herman Hester Jr. Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Herman Hester Jr. was the first of eight children born to the union of Pauline and Herman Hester Sr. Herman graduated from Phillips High School. Over the years he held many different jobs Hall Printing, Midland, Ros, Hunter and Fan, he was a Security Guard at various locations, and most recently a house painter: painting his brother Johnny's home. Herman was a deacon at his church and would talk about God to any and everyone he came in contact with. Herman was an artist and an entrepreneur. As people would see his work, he would often sell his pieces to them. He was a family man and loved being at family gatherings. Herman and the love of his life Willie B. had three children together. People would see Herman and Willie B. going fishing everyday. Yet, Herman wanted to catch larger fish. So on July 29, 2017 at 1:34 p.m. Herman found the lake where the "big fish" were. So don't weep for me my loved ones, "I'VE JUST GONE FISHING!" Herman leaves to cherish his memories, the love of his life, Willie B.; two sons, Herman Cordell and Steve; one daughter, Guylidia; eleven grandchildren; eight great grandchildren; three brothers; one sister; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and his special friends from the Mahalia Jackson Center where he lived.
