Was Joe Nester Married?

Joe Nester was married to his wife, Faith, after meeting in 2017. The late musician shared a post honoring his wife on Instagram in September of 2024 that recalled how the couple met. The duo was baptized together after Joe spent "$500 in Uber rides" to meet Faith, calling it the "best $500" he'd ever spent.

"Seven years ago today, I paid $500 in Uber rides to come and meet you," he wrote. "I didn’t even have a driver's license."

"We were so lost and still living for the world, but eventually the truth was revealed after many ups and downs," he continued. "We gave our lives to Christ, got baptized together, and got married. Now we get to travel the world together, spreading the gospel and helping people who were lost like we once were. God surely has turned everything around for the good. Looking back, I can honestly say that was the best $500 I’ve ever spent! I love you more than you’ll ever know, Mrs. Nester."

"After a month and a half of fighting for his life, and a sudden bleed near his trach, our beloved Joe Nester passed away last night," read the post. "We are completely heartbroken. Our world has been forever shattered."

"There are no words to fully express the pain we are feeling,: she continued. "I will never understand why this had to happen—why someone with so much purpose left to live had to be taken from this earth so soon! He was my best friend, my safe place, the love of my life. I know he meant so much to so many of you, too."

The post went on to say that memorial services for the musicians will be held in Florida, but the full details are yet to be announced.

"Happy birthday, Carter. It’s hard to believe that it’s already been four years," he wrote. "I still remember driving over 100 mph through traffic, thinking you were going to be delivered right there in the car."

"I never got to have a child of my own, so I am grateful that I was able to be in the delivery room and watch you take your first breath in this world. I’ve watched you grow over the years and take on your own little personality, and that in itself brings me so much joy to be able to experience that. I hope you have the most amazing day ever today, buddy. “Bumpy” loves you so much! #Grandfather #Bumpy #HappyBirthday."
