We share our heartfelt memories of Arvester Ginger who at 92, passed away peacefully at his home in Kansas City Missouri on December 24, 2025, in the presence of his loving wife LV. Arvester was born January 21, 1933, to Hampton Ginger Sr. and Sadie (Matthews) Ginger in Augusta, Arkansas. At a young age his family relocated to Neelyville, Missouri where he became a member and was baptized at the Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church. In Neelyville, he attended Washington Elementary School. He later attended Wheatley High School in Popular Bluff, MO. In 1950 he enlisted in the US Army. Arvester served in the Korean War and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, Korean Service Medal with 5 bronze stars and the United Nations Korean Service Medal. After his tour of duty in Korea, he returned to the USA and married the love of his life, LV Young. To that union was born a son, Larry Joe, a daughter, Winter London, and a son, Tusane. He later switched branches of service and enlisted in the US Air Force. At the end of a 5-year enlistment, he and LV decided to relocate to Detroit, Michigan. While in Detroit, Arvester pursued his desire to become a carpenter by completing his apprenticeship and becoming a journeyman carpenter.
