In Loving Memory of Charlie R. Lambert (April 1, 1975 – August 2, 2023)

Charlie R. Lambert, age 48, of Decatur, Illinois, left us on August 2, 2023. Born in Gallatin, Tennessee on April 1, 1975.

He was a graduate of Lebanon High School in Lebanon, TN. He married the love of his life, Gina M. Lambert, on December 3, 2011, in Lebanon, TN. Charlie dedicated his career to manufacturing, working for Nutro Dog Food a Mars Manufacturing Company. 

He was a LHS Blue Devil through and through and proudly represented Lebanon High School as a member of the Football, Track & Field, and Wrestling teams.

Throughout his life, Charlie’s heart remained devoted to his passions, which included his love for the state of Tennessee (No Matter Where He Was) University of Tennessee Football “Go Vols”, Tennessee Titans, Nashville Predators, NASCAR, Growing Roses, and cherishing moments spent with his grandchildren, friends, and family.

He is survived by his beloved wife Gina M. Lambert, along with his children, William & Dustin Graves and daughter Wynter Balthrop. He adored his grandchildren Amelia Rose, Blakely “Peanut” Eliza, Amaya “Oh me , Oh my, My Amaya’ Marie , Ashlynn Nicole and Benson Jacob.

Charlie will be deeply missed by his children; Wynter (Tyler), William (Fiancée Gianna), and Dustin (Fiancée Jordan), siblings Scotty Lambert, Sisters Sharon R. Coker (Jerry), and Tracy Lambert. He was an uncle to several nieces and nephews.

 

He joins his mother and father, Mary F. and Charles E. Lambert, and his brother Ricky Lambert, in eternal rest. Charlie will forever be remembered as a man with a generous heart. He had the unique ability to make everyone he encountered smile and laugh. His love for his kids and grandchildren knew no bounds.

 

In honoring his memory, let us remember a life lived fully, not a life lost. Though he may no longer be with us physically, Charlie’s spirit will continue to shine brightly in our hearts. May we cherish the memories we shared and find comfort in the laughter and love he brought into our lives.

 

Sweet Dreams My Love

I’ll see you in the Daylight!

I love you!

In the depths of grief, we find solace,

For a life lived, not a life lost.

A heart so warm, a spirit so bright,

With laughter that embraced the night.

 

In memories, he shall forever reside,

With every smile and joyful stride.

A husband, father, and papa dear,

His love forever near, never to disappear.

 

Now, as we bid our fond goodbye,

To the man who touched the sky,

Let’s celebrate a life so true,

A legacy of love we’ll always hold onto.

 

There will be a Celebration of Life for Charlie that will be set at a later date.
