Ralph Raymond Lambert

Ralph Raymond Lambert (65) of Gray, Tennessee passed over on February 2nd, 2025 after a valiant battle with illness that spanned many years. Ralph was born in Gardiner, Maine on August 7th, 1959. He is preceded in death by his father, Francis and mother, Doris (Dottie) Lambert. He is survived by his beloved wife of forty years, Pamela Lambert, daughter and son in law Amber and Doug Griffin, daughter and son in law Gwendolyn and Micah Little, daughter and son in law, Amy and Dustin Smith, daughter and son in law Amanda and Jason Gilpatric, daughter and son in law, Allison and Chris Bennett, and honorary daughter and son in law Haleigh and Schyler Buchanan. He leaves behind many grandchildren, Mason Griffin, Trenton Conley, Cooper Kegley, Alanna Ward, Emily Ward, Sophia Lambert, Dakotah Gilpatric, and Teeghan Gilpatric. He leaves behind a sister, Melisa and brother-in-law John Hurley.

Ralph was a welder at AO Smith for 25 years. He never missed a day of work which is an excellent display of his incredible work ethic and dedicated character.

Ralph was an outdoorsman and some of his favorite days were spent fishing alongside his faithful companion Gracie Mae who we are confident was awaiting him when he arrived in his eternal home.

Above all things, Ralph was a family man. He was a dedicated and faithful husband to his cherished wife and adored by all of his girls and his grandchildren alike. He will be remembered as a hero who built and nourished a loving and resilient family, who kept his door and his heart open to all he claimed as his, who sacrificed without complaint to provide generously, who worked hard every day of his life, who taught by example, and who could make anyone laugh. He will also be remembered as a warrior who fought courageously against all odds to remain with his family far past that which was expected. He was brave, strong, steady, and precious.

He will be remembered as the best of men and be desperately missed by all who love him still and always will.
