Ernest Lester Lowe was born October 3, 1941 in Nampa, Idaho to Ernest Noel Lowe and Wanda Call. He was the oldest of six children. He lived in Kuna all of his life. He attended Happy Valley School for grade school and then attended high school in Kuna. Lester had fond memories of working on the farm, hunting, being with friends, and playing sports, particularly baseball.

He married his high school sweetheart, DeNeice Reynolds on August 29, 1960 in the Idaho Falls Temple in Idaho Falls, Idaho. They were blessed with 11 children, 8 boys and 3 girls, 41 grandchildren, and 17 great grandchildren. He devoted his life to providing, serving, and loving his family and those around him. When he wasn't at one of his multiple jobs you could find him coaching for church baseball, at one of the kid's sports events, or umpiring. He enjoyed the mountains whether that meant camping with the family or hunting with some of the boys. Later in life it was common to find Lester sitting at the table playing games with his kids and grandchildren. You could always count on Lester giving you a hard time, joking around, and making you smile. He loved to laugh and made sure everyone he met felt welcomed and at ease. Lester truly was a light and example to his family. Lester once said, "I love life, family, DeNeice, kids, church, and all that we have; and all of the love we share."

He passed away on November 11, 2023 at home surrounded by his wife and children.

Lester survived by his wife, DeNeice Lowe and his 10 children, Kyle (Raymond Castilleja), Rhonda (Alan) Timmons, Lorinda (Charlie) Bagley, Troy, Vance (Holly), Rocky (Mandy), Cline (Tiffany), Thane, Bren (Melinda), Kendra (Scott) Summers, 41 grandchildren, and 17 great grandchildren. He is also survived by his siblings Derry (Susie), Roger (Margaret), and Christy (Joe) Nice.
