Chandler Neal Lamm

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Chandler Neal Lamm of Sanford, NC, who left us December 7, 2024, at the age of 23. He was a devoted son, brother, cousin, and friend. He was born on August 26, 2001, in Pinehurst, North Carolina to Christopher Glynn Lamm, Sr. and Kimberly O'Quinn Lamm. He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Odell Glynn Lamm, Jr., Jerry Duncan O'Quinn, and Robert Alex Griffin.
Chandler leaves behind his parents Christopher Glynn Lamm, Sr. (Melinda), Kimberly O'Quinn Lamm (Murph) brothers Christopher G. Lamm Jr, Austin Barnes, and Eric Denkins, grandmothers; Sara F. Lamm, Nell Blakley, and Margaret O'Quinn, aunts, Amy Price (Kris), and Crystal O'Quinn Brooks (Ray), uncles Chip Blakley (Kelly), and Jr Walker (Angel) beloved cousins, Brittany Howard (Jeremy), Hunter Cockman (Anna) and Rainey Cockman (Bailey), Bradley Price, Sarah Burgess (Tristan), Emma Neighbors (River), Nikolas Price (Alicia), Alexus Hobbs (Cyle), Jordan Brooks, Gray Brooks (Gray), Dalton Walker (Kelsey), Halie Walker and beloved friends that were more like brothers; Cooper McBride, Jaxon McBride, Kyle Rodriguez, Moe Torres, Trenton Johnson, Trayton Johnson, and Austin Cole, beloved dogs, Krush and August (Auggie) as well as numerous other relatives and friends.
Chandler had a profound passion for repairing and improving mechanical equipment and was a valued employee at Trans Source as a fleet diesel technician. He had a wonderful work ethic and a strong desire to learn as much as he could about being a mechanic and how things worked. He was well respected and highly regarded by his work family and he will be greatly missed.
Chandler had a great love for the outdoors. He was a member of cub scout pack 941 and boy scout troop 941 at First Baptist Church in Sanford, where he experienced many adventures and outings throughout the years. He participated in Upward Basketball throughout his youth, and he also played basketball for San Lee Middle School. He enjoyed football, playing for both Harnett County and Lee County parks and rec as well as Middle and High School teams. Chandler enjoyed sports and he excelled in them. He attended San Lee Middle School and Southern Lee High School.
He was an avid fisherman and hunter. Chandler's favorite car was a Ford Mustang, and his favorite color was red. You could always find him working on cars and helping whoever was in need, laughing and joking, and being a prankster. He had a nickname for everyone and seldom called people by their given names.
Tragically, Chandler passed away December 7, 2024, in a single car motor vehicle accident while driving his friend home in his Ford Mustang. His family takes comfort in knowing that he was doing something he loved in his final moments. Chandler's memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. He will be deeply missed, but his spirit of kindness, generosity, and love for life will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to call him family or friend.
The family will receive friends in the Multipurpose room of Holly Springs Baptist Church, Friday December 13, 2024, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. A service celebrating Chandler's life will be held in the sanctuary at 2:30PM after the family has a short break. Both Reverends Scott Yow and Jerry Parsons will be officiating. A burial will follow in the church cemetery. The family is requesting for as many people as possible to wear red in honor of Chandler. The family will be receiving friends and family at the home on 1502 Fire Tower Road, Sanford, throughout this week and immediately following the service.
