Richard Alan Lambert

On May 29, 2024, Richard Alan Lambert passed away at the age of 67, leaving a deep void in the hearts of his family and the community he cherished. Richard was born on February 1, 1957, in Houston, Texas to his loving parents Richard and Dorothy Lambert. Growing up, he attended Tarkington High School before pursuing his passion for agriculture at Sam Houston State University.

Richard dedicated his life to various family businesses including Romayor Grocery, Lambert's BBQ, C-R Construction, Lambert’s Propane, and Lambert's Ready Mix. His commitment to these enterprises was surpassed only by the relationships he cultivated within the community. Richard took immense pride in the enduring friendships he formed over the years.

In the year 2000, Richard found love with Stephanie, and together they welcomed two daughters into their lives – Megan in 2003 and Beth in 2005. His devotion to his family was unwavering, and he cherished nothing more than being a devoted husband and father. Richard considered raising his daughters alongside Stephanie as his greatest accomplishment.

Despite his professional commitments, Richard nurtured a passion for cattle and remained actively involved in the cattle industry throughout his life. In 2015, he and his girls established the "Little Women Cattle Company," specializing in raising registered Brahman cattle.
