Mr. Wayne Lambert of the High Knob section of Fletcher's Ridge, Virginia passed away Friday (August 22, 2025) at Maple Grove Healthcare Center in Lebanon, Virginia. Born November 12, 1938 in Venia, Virginia, he was a son of the late Marion and Maudie Fletcher Lambert. A lifelong resident of the area, he was a member of the Fletcher's Ridge Freewill Baptist Church since the 1940s and attended there until his poor health prevented him from driving. He was a humble man with a kind heart and he enjoyed gardening.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by ten brothers and sisters. In his generation, he was the last surviving member of his immediate family.

Survivors include his girlfriend, Audrey "Dean" Coleman and several very special nieces and nephews.

Funeral services will be conducted at 1 PM Monday in the Honaker Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Jody Breeding and Rev. Troy Harris officiating. Interment will follow in the Lambert Cemetery near his home on High Knob Road, Vansant, Virginia.

Relatives and friends will serve as pallbearers.

The family will receive friends after 6 PM Sunday at Honaker Funeral Home where an evening song service will be conducted at 7 PM.
