Donald Lamb Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Allen & Dahl Funeral Chapel - Redding on Dec. 16, 2025.
Donald Roy Lamb passed away December 15, 2025 at the age of 86 in Redding CA. Don was born in Ojai, Ca, where he later worked for the City of Ojai for about eight years. Upon gaining employment with the State Department of Transportation (Caltrans), he made his way to Redding CA where he worked for Caltrans for over 35 years. Don was proud of his service to the traveling public and especially proud to have kept I-5 open during heavy snow events.
When Don wasn't working at his job, or his ranch raising cattle, or working on a rental house, he was an avid hunter and fisherman. He so loved his halibut trips to beautiful Alaska and always brought home a great catch.

Don is survived by his loving wife, Susan, of 44 years, his two sons, Don Jr. and Jerry,

his sister, Sharon and 5 grandchildren and one great grandchild. The family is planning a celebration of life to be held after the 1 st of the year in Redding.
Don will be missed by many friends and family who loved him dearly.

Arrangements are cared for by Allen and Dahl Funeral Chapel in Redding (530) 243-1525.

"Big Don" was one of the hardest working people that I have ever known. Along with his responsibilities at Caltrans and taking care of his ranch and business ventures, he always made time for volunteer work to contribute to his community as well.

Great memories, Don was one of my pop warner coaches and a neighborhood dad! My condolences go out to the family!
