Hayden "Chops" Matthew Lamb

Hayden Matthew “Chops” Lamb, age sixteen was born April 30, 2002 and passed away September 17, 2018. Hayden had a great sense of humor, a quick wit, loved everyone and loved to play sports. His real passion was on the football field playing for Morristown East. He loved to give people big bear hugs and always was quick to say, “I love you.” Because of the generosity of Hayden for being an organ donor, four lives will live on, as will Hayden. “He likes to be the hero.” Hayden was preceded in death by his Papaw, James J Lamb; Granny, Rhonda Sennet; and Grandfather, Paul Bryan.

Survivors include his Parents, John and Lisa Lamb; Sister, Oliviagrace Lamb of Russellville; G.O.A.T Mamaw, Roxanne Lamb of Bean Station; Nana, Clydia Spradling of Bean Station; Uncles, Brian Lamb of Bean Station and Doug Bryan of Rutledge; Aunt, Teresa Bryan of Jefferson City; Cousins, Heather, Hollie, Bryleigh, Telesa, Vincent, Adrianna, Tyler, and best friend/cousin Alex; and a host of family and friends to mourn his passing.
