Donald Lamb Obituary
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.
