Milton Remembers Tim Lester

In January, the Milton community lost Tim Lester — a beloved citizen who, after an exemplary NFL career, shaped lives for the better throughout the community. A Miami native, Lester played a total of eight seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Dallas Cowboys.

On the field, the fullback became known as “The Bus Driver” for leading the way for Hall of Famer Jerome “The Bus” Bettis. Off the field, Lester was recognized two straight years as an NFL Unsung Hero for his contributions to his community.

After retirement, Lester became even more active as a humanitarian, coach, minister, and public speaker. And, fortunately for Milton, he settled with his family in this community where he helped found a youth football program, coached football at numerous local schools, and became a treasured mentor, neighbor, and friend to many.
