Obituary

Reverend Bobby Gene Lamb, 87, of Calvert City, KY passed away on Thursday, November 19, 2020 at Baptist Health Paducah. He was born in Dawson Springs, KY on May 16, 1933, to the late Herschel Thomas and Ruby Elsie (nee Dearing) Lamb.

In addition to his parents, Bobby was preceded in death by his loving wife Willa Dean (nee Lee) Lamb, and sister, Reba Wilmadean (nee Lamb) Morris, and brother, James Larry Lamb. He will be remembered as a loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend.

He is survived by his son, Rev. Kellan A. (Condra) Lamb; grandchildren, Nathan A. Lamb and Ashley N. Lamb; brother, Rev. Newman Wayne (Hilda) Lamb; numerous nieces and nephews and other loving family members and friends.

Bobby was a Navy combat veteran of the Korean Conflict until his honorable discharge in 1955.

Bobby accepted Christ Jesus as his savior at the age of 14. He answered God's call to the ministry in 1961. He served the Lord as a preacher, pastor, evangelist, church planter, Christian educator, religious radio broadcaster and supporter of missions around the world until his passing.

Bobby was a compassionate man who equally loved sinners and saints alike. He leaves behind a legacy, not of what he did, but of what Christ did through him. The entirety of Bobby's life will be a "story that is told" at the Judgment Seat of Christ. He passed as he lived: with the power of Christ's love and unshakeable faith in His promises, thinking of himself as nothing and his blessed Savior as everything.

Bobby's life verse is John 5:24, Jesus said, "Verily, Verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."
