His birthday was yesterday. If you scroll down on his FB page, there's a post about a celebration of his life back in August...

He was only 32. I'm stunned.

My condolences to his family. He was one of the best posters here.

I'm even later to finding this out. Happened to stumble across his Steam account today and saw a comment which triggered me to check his Facebook and then this board again. I remember Lester well from back in the Storm2k early days. I'm hoping his family finds peace.
