David W. Lambert, 55, died suddenly Friday, November 13, 2020 in the ER at St. Joseph Hospital, Kokomo. Dave was born to Wayne and Alice Shaw Lambert on March 27, 1965 in Kokomo. On March 7, 1992 Dave married his love, Stephanie Brown, in Camden, IN.

Dave was continually active in Carroll County. He worked his hands to the bone serving his community.  He spent 16 years with Carroll County Pork Producers, now known as Carroll County Ag Association. Dave served many of those years as an officer and leader of the organizations promotional cooking programs. He served the 4-H youth community on the Carroll County Exhibit Association and as the swine Superintendent “Boss Hog” for many years leading, promoting, and seeing that necessary equipment was provided for the youth. He served on the Town and Country Baseball board, the Flora Youth Baseball League. Dave ran for Carroll County School Board because of his devotion to the students, staff, and taxpayer. He served from 2006 – 2018 and again was appointed to serve on November 10, 2020. During his time with the school board, he served as a member, Vice President and President. Dave was proud to be involved with the fieldhouse construction and seeing it completed to Carroll standards. Dave’s love was Carroll High School, from his being a student to seeing his two boys there. Dave was the first Carroll football player selected to play in the North/South All Star Game in Indianapolis in 1982. He passed on a full ride scholarship to play football at Triton College in Chicago. Dave chose instead to start his dream to farm his own land. Dave succeeded with Lambert Farms, one of the biggest hog operations in Carroll County.  Dave and Stephanie started the farm completely on their own in 2001.

    MAY YOU FIND COMFORT IN KNOWING……Our family was always proud to see the success you two accomplished after purchasing “our” farm. Could not have been finer “young farmers” than you two. May you and your boys find ” Love all around you”, during these sudden difficult times. Sincerely……

    I am still in shock of his passing! It was only a couple weeks ago I was trying to persuade people into voting for him as a commissioner… (hoping for change for our county!) My most fond memories of him are from 4-H. He was always so helpful and kind and always around if we needed him. He always had a smile on his face regardless if his shirt was soaked through with sweat. I am so sorry for such a huge loss! Praying your whole family.

    Dave leaves a legacy of selfless service and leadership. He worked hard to be the best he could be. I’m proud to have worked with him but he did more for me than I did for him. Prayers, love & best wishes to his family as you move ahead.

    I am so sorry for your loss. Like a zillion others, Dave was a “former kid in school” and again like so many others, I had the joy of seeing him grow up into a responsible adult and parent of more students before I retired. I greatly appreciated his service on the CC School Board while I was a teacher and was glad that he had decided to serve again in what may be a critical time for our schools. He was a huge asset for our kids and our community and we will miss him. I’m truly sorry that I can’t call in person because of the current health risks, but you are all in my thoughts and prayers. As ever, Mrs. TC

    My sincere condolences to the family. My parents, Charles and Mary Ann Markley, were your neighbors down the road who owned the old Sibbitt farm. Dad admired Dave’s farming business sense. They often spoke so highly of Dave and his service to the students and families of Carroll County. He will be missed.

    May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.

    My deepest sympathy during this unimaginable most difficult time. I will always remember Dave’s infectious smile and good nature (and calling me “Jan Tice”!). Oh, and when we were young (he was playing football), I had my hand up on a doorway and he innocently leaned back against my hand and my finger split open (still have the scar). We were able to laugh about that right away! lol His life’s work was a blessing to so many and the impact he had on those lives will forever be realized. Prayers to all of the family.

    I was without words when I heard of Dave’s passing. I have so many wonderful memories of him. I know how greatly he will be missed by anyone and everyone that knew him. I pray that your memories of him will remain strong and steadfast until you meet again.

    What a legacy you two made together. I hope you find comfort in your sons and the love you all shared together. Be thankful for the memories and do what you can to make him proud. He’ll always be with you. The dream isn’t over, it’s just going to take a new form. Together you and the boys will find the way. As unfair as this seems, you are so lucky for the time you had together. Sooo much to be thankful for. Those memories will keep you smiling for the rest of your life. And that’s what David would want. Love you dearly……
