Allen Gage Hester

With broken hearts and deep sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved daddy, son, brother, grandson, and friend. Gage Hester, who left us far too soon at the young age of 25. He is survived by his beautiful daughter Haisley, loving mother Aimee Allen, his father John Hester, his sisters Bristol and Kenleigh Warwick; maternal grand parents Simon and Lacy Allen, paternal grand parents Annis and Harold Hester, close cousins Alexis Allen, Codey, Matthew, Aram, and Jeshuah, who were like brothers; Blake, Hannah, Daelen, Kaylie, Michael, Tiffany, Chris Jacob, Nathan, Wyatt, Dylan, Dalton, lil Eric, and Jessie his aunts and uncles Barry and Donyelle Hester, Elizabeth and Kenny Mitchell, James and Jill Hester, Ellen Hester, Eric and Christina Hester. Uncles Mark Allen and Brant Allen with a host of family and friends who will carry his memory in their hearts forever. He is proceeded in death by his maternal grandmother Carolyn Allen “Mama Carolyn” and Jason Allen “Uncle Jason”.

Gage had a personality that couldn’t be contained. He didn’t just walk into a room—he burst into it, full of energy, quick comebacks, and a spark that drew everyone in. He had a gift for laughter, not just the kind that makes you smile, but the kind that makes you lose your breath, wipe your eyes, and forget the weight of the world—if only for a moment.

He was the one who could turn anything into a joke, who always had a story (usually outrageous and hilarious), and who had that rare ability to make everyone feel like they were his favorite. He had charisma, charm, and a grin that let you know he was up to something—but you’d laugh anyway.

To us, Gage was light. His happiness, his charm, and his ability to connect with people were gifts that we will forever cherish. He lived big, he loved deep, and he laughed often. Though our hearts are heavy, we know Gage is at peace. We will hold on to the love he gave and the beautiful moments we shared. His smile will never fade from our memories, and his laughter will echo in our hearts forever.
