John Lambert Obituary

John "Johnny" William Lambert, 48, beloved husband, father, son and brother, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 18, 2016, after a seven-month battle with liver cancer. He was surrounded by his family. Celebration of life: 2 p.m. Saturday, April 23, at First Baptist Church of Burleson.

He was preceded in death by his mom, Simone. Survivors: Father, John; wife, Michelle; children, Tanner, Addison and Gage; sisters, Laura (Jimmy), Kathy (Sid); brother-in-law, Joey (Suzanne); numerous nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles; and his beloved dogs, Dooley and Baylee.

I have very happy childhood memories hanging out at the Lamberts, playing outside in the streets. Wonderful neighbors and friends growing up. So sad to hear Johnny's life ended so young. Prayers for Kathy, Laura, his dad and wife and kids who were blessed to have Johnny in their lives.

The thing I remember most is dreading to have to bat against him. He was one of the best and fastest pitchers I ever went up against as a kid. RIP Johnny, I have always looked up to you...

Michelle and family, I remember the neighborhood boys that my son was friends with. They giggled laughed, got into mischief, played ball, shared stories, made things up and had a great time together. Johnny was a great kid and am sure was a great man. I pray for your comfort and peace and the memories you've made. May they be enough to sustain you now.
