His adventurous spirit, unfaltering generosity, and affable nature were some of Lambert’s best qualities that left a lasting impact on all who knew and loved him.

The family would like to thank close friend, Johnathan Snider, as well as the healthcare workers and first responders who assisted in caring for Lambert with such great kindness.

A visitation for Lambert is planned for Thursday, December 31, 2020, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm. The visitation will be at Sholar Funeral Home in Pleasureville, Kentucky. Afterwards, a graveside service will be held at Pleasureville Cemetery at 1 pm.
