Herb was known for his kind and outgoing nature.  He was most known for his love of striking up conversations with people from all walks of life everywhere he went.  He loved baseball and was inducted into the Softball Fast Pitch Hall of Fame.  Other things he loved included singing - both with his brothers and with the church Praise Team, his time at Hastings Mutual Insurance Company; however, his ultimate love was his family.

The son of Charlie and Hildred Hesterly, he was the youngest of 6 kids.  He was a devoted Husband, Brother, Father, Grandfather and Great-Grandfather who always put God and his family first.  He is survived by his wife, Jane (Jordan) Hesterly, his children Kimberly (Hesterly) and Brent Hassevoort and Scott Hesterly, Grandchildren Daniel Payne, Jr. and Jessica and Thomas Plochocki Jr., Great-Grandchildren Ashley, Sarah, Bailey, Bryce and Ryan, Brothers Ron and Mary Hesterly and Byron and Betty Hesterly, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.  He was preceded in death by his sisters Virginia Tousley and Doris Blair, and his brother Verdan Hesterly.
