Jeffrey Neill Hester, 58, of Lexington, passed away on Saturday, January 18, 2025 at Hinkle Hospice House in Lexington, NC.
He was born July 30, 1966 in Burlington, NC to the late William F. Hester Sr. and Kathryn Copeland Hester. Jeffrey was a 1986 graduate of Orange High School, and a 1996 graduate of Alamance Community College. He worked as a security officer and built drive shafts, among many other things. In his spare time, he enjoyed fishing and playing golf. Jeffrey also enjoyed spending time with his horses and with his wife. He was a member of Seventh Day Adventist Church in Welcome, NC.

In addition to his parents and grandparents, Jeffrey was preceded in death by his brother, William F. Hester Jr.; and sister, Robyn H. Fortner.
Jeffrey is survived by his wife of 25 years, Ruth Baldwin.
