Calvin loved the outdoors, deer hunting and fishing and loved to dance. His mantra was that he was not a senior citizen but a “recycled teenager” and he delighted in telling his grandchildren that he loved them BOA (Best Of All).

Calvin was preceded in death by his parents; wives, Josephine Latham Hester and Alma Louise Hester; and daughter, Twila Gail Hester Davis and grandson Ryan Davis. He is survived by daughter Carolyn Lee Hester of Chilton and son, David Lee Hester and wife, Cindy of Crawford.

He is also survived by his grandson Shane Davis and wife Shannon of Minnesota, granddaughters Sarah Hester Robison and husband Daniel of Salado and Anne Cates and husband Jacob of Woodway.

His great grandchildren are Gibson, Ayden, Jonah, Autumn, Leo, and Eleanor.

The family would like to thank the staff at Greenview Manor for the loving care they gave to Calvin.
