He was a longtime member of Pleasant Valley Baptist where he enjoyed men’s softball and especially coaching the kids and assisting with the R.A. program. He enjoyed his life to the fullest, laughing and cutting up with his grandkids, along with the gardening he got so much pleasure out of while living on the river here in Southside, Alabama. Mr. Lamberth was loved by everyone who knew him.

He is survived by his devoted wife Janice Vyskocil Lamberth of 56 years, children, Kristi Williams (Brad), Melissa Lamberth (Sherri), Todd Lamberth (Kaci) and grandchildren, Caroline Pope, Chase Lamberth, Glavine Lamberth, Leanna Lamberth, Cooper Lamberth, Caiti Lamberth, JT Williams, Hannah Baker.
