Lester W. Chupp, 74, of Holmesville, Ohio, passed away at his residence, surrounded by his family on Monday, January 19, 2026, from declining health.

He was born on July 21, 1951, to the late William and Emma (Miller) Chupp. On October 19, 1972, he married Esther Troyer, who survives.

Lester was a member of Gospel Haven Mennonite Church where he served faithfully in the sound booth for many years. He loved the Lord and enjoyed being in church. He also enjoyed camping, traveling, videography, and could fix anything. 

He will be missed by his wife, children, and grandchildren. One of his joys was driving for Angel Transportation, and he had a gift for connecting with children with special needs.

In addition to his wife Esther, he is survived by his four daughters: Chris Chupp, Rachel (Aaron) Yoder, Ada Chupp, and Amy Chupp; and five grandchildren: Kasey, Alyce, and Theo Yoder, and Torin and Seth Hostetler.
