‘Varsity Blues’ Actor Ron Lester Dead At 45

Ron Lester has passed away as a result of kidney and liver failure.

The 45-year-old actor, who starred in the 1999 movie Varsity Blues, passed away on Friday, June 17, in a Dallas hospital, his agent David Bradley said.

Lester had battled health issues and gave a glimpse into his struggles last November.

"Liver & kidneys are starting to heal, Came close to dying!” he wrote on Twitter at the time, crediting his fiancée Jennifer Worland with keeping him alive.

Sadly, Lester’s health didn’t improve, and he was reportedly hospitalized for months before his passing.
