On December 10th, 1951 in Mooringsport, La God blessed Uria Lester Sr. and Doris Mae Lester with a bouncing baby boy; Uria Marcus Lester Jr. As the newest member to the family he was loved and cared for by all of his siblings & neighborhood friends. The family moved to Fort Worth, Tx., where he grew up as well as receiving his bachelor’s at the University of Texas in Arlington & his Masters at the University of Dallas.
After his college years and many different trials & errors, he finally met a beautiful young lady that became his best friend & the love of his life, Gloria Greene Lester. As the two dated, he decided he wanted to date forever and he married her on August 28th, 1991. To this union God gave a daughter, Ryan. As a new family man, Uria took on the challenges of life, all while keeping his love for his family, tennis, corvettes, and drawing.
