My heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones.I remember when I first moved to Indianapolis—I saw this well-dressed, distinguished brother walk into the establishment, though I didn't know him or ask who he was at the time. As he walked through, he spoke to everyone, and you could see the genuine joy on each person's face. Years later, we finally met, and my only regret was not introducing myself sooner. He became one of the best friends anyone could ever ask for.

Rest well, Brother McKinney.

Lester, your smile and laughter had a way of lighting up every room you entered. You will be deeply missed. My heartfelt condolences to your family during this difficult time. May God bless and comfort you all, and may you rest in eternal peace, Lester.

Lester, your absence will be so obvious. Your presence filled a room instantly. Bless God this not goodbye; but rather "see ya later". Take your rest, my brother, and I'll catch ya later.
