George Elton Fesler, 83, entered through the heavenly gates while surrounded by his loving family in his home near Luther on May 18, 2023. 

George was born to Floyd and Oleta (Herrold) Fesler, the third of four children. He graduated from Luther Schools in 1957. He was active in FFA and was named Luther Chapter Farmer and State Star Farmer. He was a faithful and compassionate husband to Donna, his wife of 64 years. God blessed their union with four beautiful children. He was an honest, hard-working Christian man who devoted his entire life working as a farmer, rancher, and gardener to provide for his family. George consistently put others before himself and was active in his community. He served as a Deacon at Luther and Arcadia First Baptist Churches. He was a lifelong supporter of Luther Schools, serving 15 years as a school board member. George’s quick wit, laughter, and funny sayings filled every room with joy. His smile was contagious. Being a kind and dependable dad and Bobbo was of the upmost importance to him, and he certainly exceeded when it came to wholeheartedly loving his family.
