Such a fine man. It was a pleasure and honor to work with him. I know he is at peace with the Lord. My husband David sends his condolences, too. ~ Sharon K. Walker
My thoughts and prayers are with the Beene family. Coach came to Dunbar after taking the head coaching position from the late Clifford Spates. I didn’t play football but once I saw coach after graduating he asked me what was I doing these days. I said I am in the Army. He said you’ll do fine. I got to hear Coach sing with the Sweethome male chorus. That’s when we got close. But we got closer when I worked at Spencer and I had a little time to talk. We talked he was so encouraging that’s why I will miss him our talks. Rest Well Coach your work down here is done.

We are saddened to hear of Lester’s passing. May it comfort you to know that Lester loved the Lord and loved his family. He brought the family joy, made us proud, and blessed our memories forever. Although we are miles apart, we are together always in heart and spirit. ~ Your cousins in Kansas City, MO; New Haven, CT; Ann Arbor, MI; Pensacola, FL
My prayer is with you during this time. I know that Deacon Beene has made preparations for this day and looked forward to going. He fought a good fight and kept the faith. I will always remember what he did to encourage me. I often reminded him of that day at school. Thanks, Mr. Beene for making a great impression on my life.
There’s not 1 like him! Rest well Deacon Beene. The right way is the narrow way. It don’t have no crooks or bends!” You, sir, led a quiver full to Christ with your daily walk down that narrow road!!! We love you and will FOREVER remember you and what you taught us!
My condolences and most sincere sympathies to his lovely wife Sister Ida Beene (my role model), his daughter Pam (my choir mate and friend), his family, friends and loved ones. Not to mention Sweet Home Baptist Church of Fort Worth where I witnessed his tireless service to our church, community and unmatched LOVE FOR CHRIST all my life!
You are missed and loved! Thank you Coach Deacon Brother Lester Beene. You were ALL THAT and more!
Heartbroken 😭😭😭
My condolences to the Beene family. Coach Beene meant the world to me. I was a struggling second year teacher who without knowing it, was in need in need of guidance. They say God sends people into your life when they are needed the most. When Coach arrived at Glencrest as the `new AP, something drew me to him. I introduced myself to him and with his bigger than life persona was friendly and welcoming. He became a mentor and a father figure to me. He saw things in me that I didn’t see in myself. When he started our basketball program he wanted me to get involved. I wasn’t confident if I could do it. The more I resisted the harder he pushed until i finally got involved. It was the best thing that ever happened to me, Eventually he wanted me to take over what he started. Again he saw in me what I didn’t see in myself. His mentoring help me be a better black male teacher and a better man. The stories he would tell me about the old days were not just entertaining but helped me to understand what it meant to be Black educator, Whenever I had free time during the school day and he was available, I’d go to his office and just talk and laugh. Also, if i messed up he would let me have it, and loved him for it. I loved Lester Beene as a son would love his father, He will be missed; I will miss him deeply.
