Richard Lamb

1946 - 2024

Our loving Father, Grandfather and Brother Richard Lamb, 78, of Roberts, Idaho, passed away surrounded by his family Thursday April 25th, 2024, at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.

Richard was born February 27th, 1946, in Blackfoot, Idaho to Delbert Ross Lamb and Leora Edna Lamb (Lyon). He was raised and attended schools in Jefferson County. On September 4th, 1964, he married the love of his life, Susan Kay Leigh, in Dubois, Idaho. They were later blessed with 4 beautiful children: Suzette, Barbara, Angela and Dustin.

He was a Jack of all trades, but later retired in maintenance for School District 251 after 31 years.

Dad loved spending time with family; especially when it came to his grandkids. He enjoyed the outdoors, camping, fishing, and hunting. Staying busy was a must for him, whether it was building things, or tinkering around the house. He was not the type to sit around.
