Don Allen Lamb

Don Allen Lamb, 72, of Noblesville, and formerly of Connersville, passed away Sunday morning of Jan. 11, 2026, following a courageous 3-year battle with Parkinson's disease.

Don was born on Aug. 5, 1953, in Rushville, to Don W. and Betty J. (Ross) Lamb. He was a 1971 graduate of Connersville High School and completed the building trades curriculum at Connersville Vocational School.

Following high school, Don began his career in manufacturing at D&M Manufacturing, where he worked for 10 years. He later enrolled at Ivy Technical College, pursuing electrical engineering technology. With a lifelong passion for repairing anything mechanical, Don worked for several years at Crowe Alignment Garage, the Dug Out, and Matney's Auto Repair. He eventually began his career at Chrysler Manufacturing in New Castle in 1993. As a journeyman electrician, Don dedicated 31 years to Chrysler, working at both the New Castle and Kokomo plants. He was a proud member of UAW Local #1166.

Don was a faithful member of Milton Christian Church. Prior to that, he belonged to Glenwood Christian Church, where he served as a deacon alongside his grandfather. He was also a member of Masonic Lodge #234 in Orange and the Scottish Rite.

Don deeply enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren participate in sporting activities and cherished time spent working outdoors on his farm in Cambridge City. As a young man, Don and many of his friends from Glenwood were heavily involved in the muscle car era, taking great pride in building, restoring, and maintaining their cars.

Don is survived by his wife of 50 years, Vicki Ann (Sams) Lamb. The couple was married on June 28, 1975, at Glenwood Christian Church. He is also survived by their three children, Erica (Lamb) and Tyson Grace of Cincinnati, OH, Lt. Col. Matthew and Kristina Lamb of Bluffton, SC, and Sara Lamb of Noblesville.

Don was a proud grandfather to Alex Grace, Caroline Grace, Sierra Downey, Hayden Lamb, Nyah May Lamb, Jacob Lamb, Gabi Selby, and Remington Lamb.

He is also survived by three sisters, Connie Gibbs of Modesto, CA, Vickie Lamb of Cambridge City and Melissa Kavenaugh of Connersville; two brothers, Mark Lamb of Plainfield and Patrick Lamb of Sacramento, CA. He is further survived by several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.
