Eric was the best guy I have ever known.what a shock he was just at my house on Sunday and he was fine but 2 days later he is gone..he will be missed by my children and by myself.i love you Eric I'll see your smile again one day.
My mind is shocked, my heart is broken, but I am thankful for the memories I have of you as my stepdad and the siblings you gave me. One of the fondest memories I have, you and Grandma Linda took Little Erik, Skylar and I to the Green Meadows Farm where I watched you courageously feed an ostrich that I was deathly terrified of. You also caught a baby goat along with a chicken just so Skylar and I would have a chance to pet it. I know the last decade or so I haven't been close to you, but what I would do to give you more time on this earth. Rest easy Erik.
All I can say is he was a stand-up guy from the first day I met him. He would go out his way to help anyone and was a very kind and loving soul. He will definitely be missed by more people than you can imagine. Rest in peace, my friend the struggle is done, I can’t wait to get there myself
To Lil Erik, Cassie and Alec. I am so sorry for your loss. I know that this is a huge loss to all of you.
So sorry for your loss
Your dad will be missed
Always so polite and positive
Eric Lambert was a great man. I met him because he did a lot of work with my dad as a carpenter. I’ve never met somebody that no matter what he was doing would drop everything to come and help me or my family. a great man who raised some amazing people. Thanks for giving me the honor to know you, Mr. Eric rest in peace. Gonna miss seeing you man
Miss you brother , Danny will miss u so much, his only uncle. See u on the other side
We are so sorry for your family’s lost. Erica was a true friend and a wonderful person who we enjoyed spending time with. Prayers for comfort and strength.
I will miss you forever dad.
I had to ask Eric to stab me with my epi pen when I couldn't find Hank….and of course he did and made sure I was safe.❤️ We fed him a lot.😂❤️😭
RIP Erik. You will be missed❤️
my heart aches, no amount of words can describe my sorrow at the loss of such a wonderful man.
Erik was such a good friend . Always with kind word and a helping hand . Many good times that I have to remember . . He is deeply missed ❤️
Even though I never met the man, I am friends with Alec, so to hear about his dad passed away made me feel sentimental about my stepdad passing away, I know that feeling and it hurts when you lost someone you'd share a strong bond with, even though he's gone, he's still remains in your heart now and forever.
He was radiating kindness through his soul, my condolences to everyone in the family. He will be forever praised for his accomplishments and will not be forgotten. He was a great support when I was younger. One of a kind man. Live on Erik!
A family that has known to much sadness and loss my prayers and thoughts to all. “God Bless You”.
My heart n prayers sent to entire Lambert family God bless all of u
I had just messaged him a couple of days after the hurricane to see how he was doing and he assured me that everything was fine at his place but he had no electricity at the moment. To hear a few days later he had passed away was such a shock. I will forever be grateful for having Dan Sr, Erik and Danny in my life for however short the time was. My love to the whole family.
Erik Lambert you have been one of my very best friends since we were 18 years old. I was blessed to have known you and have your friendship all these years as well as being the one lucky enough to say I was your first love. I wouldn't trade anything in this world for the friendship Ive been blessed to have with you all of these years. You were ONE OF A KIND ❤️You were the most honest and most genuinely real man I knew right next to my granddaddy. Whom I know you've already gotten the awesome chance of seeing again along with your dad who was your hero I know and your mom who in my opinion was the Best! As well as your Gramma and ol Douger and of course my sister ,which Im a lil jealous of ill admit…and so many more loved ones as well. I miss you Erik and Ill always love you. I look forward to the day Ill get to see you again. I know you will be watching over your 3 grown babies (whom I know meant the world to you❤️) everyday now… I guess it may be selfish to say but I just wish you were still here with all of us. I still can't believe your really gone.So many times I've wanted to pick up this phone and call you..only to realize it's no longer possible .So I just talk to you as if you're sitting right in front of me at times hoping you can hear me somehow and just imagine what you would be saying to me rt then. I know you are in a place of serenity and peace now and I try to take comfort in knowing that my friend… But I still can't help but want you back here on earth with those of us who love you and miss you so badly. Until we meet again Lambert. I ❤️ you.Love,Lis
