I loved John Carlton and Sharon with all my heart. He was my cousin, but I thought of him more like a big brother. I wish I could have been there..........

Sharon,,so very sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved John, I lived next to you and John when I was married to Roy,,,many moons ago, but never forgot about you John and Stephanie DeAnn. May God be with the family and give you peace.

I AM SO SORRY FOR THE FAMILYS LOSS.  I MET JOHN LAMBERT WHILE IN THE ACADEMY.  HE WAS NOT MY FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR, BUT HE WAS INDEED THE PERSON WE CALLED THE MIRACLE  WORKER.  I HAD NEVER HELD A FIRMARM BEFORE, LET ALONE NEEDED TO QUAILFY WITH ONE.  MY INSTRUCTOR WAS HARD ON ME AND I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME LEARNING.  MY INSTRUCTOR DID NOT MAKE IT ONE MORNING WHEN I WAS IN remedial AND OFC LAMBERT STEPPED RIGHT IN.  HE TOLD ME TO RELAX AND DO SOME DEEP BREATHING.  HE WAS SO KIND AND PLEASANT.  BY THE GRACE OF GOD I PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS.  HE WAS TRULY HEAVEN SET.  NOW HE HAS RETURNED HOME TO BE WITH THE LORD.  BE BLESSED FAMILY AND FRIENDS

We joined NEHBC in January 2013 and John was our first life group teacher, we loved John from the very beginning and he was a wonderful teacher. John was so kind and caring to everyone.  We feel very privileged to have know him and call him our friend.  He will be missed by everyone, we are so sorry for your loss.

I first met Officer Lambert while I was in the Houston Police Academy during the summer of 2011. He was my firearms instructor. He was very patient and knew everything about a handgun that one can possibly know, regardless of the type. Before it was announced that he was ill I had just saw him at the police academy and he appeared just fine. I was shocked to hear of him being ill and him passing. Officer Lambert, may you rest in Peace. May God give your family the strength. 
                                       Officer F. Flynn

We are so sorry for your loss.  John was kind and caring to everyone. We were happy to know him and call him our friend. We will keep you in our prayers.

My friend, co-worker of 16 years, mentor, and I call you my brother.  You will be miss as my heart is full sadness and sorrow.  John Lambert you left a footprint on my life and I am better man by knowing you and the values you taught me.                              .  .

I was sadden to learn of John's passing, but I know he walks with God at this very moment.  When I think of John I think of a true professional that was always friendly and kind to others. Rest in peace brother officer.

John. If you can see this, I have loved you like a brother since we worked in the jail rotation in 1982...God teaches us through men like you...your kindness is far reaching...many have been touched by you in ways that can't be numbered...we will act silly again brother...on streets of gold...God bless you family.  Keith

I will miss him.  I will miss his kind words. I will miss our conversations and I will miss his friendship. I will miss his encouragement to do my best, to believe I can be more, and in all things to give the glory to God.  I will miss his inspiration to be a Godly man. 

John made an impact on my life and the lives of countless others. His life made a difference in this world and I am so grateful to have known him.

I was saddened to hear about John. He was one of my instructors at the Police Academy almost 20 years ago. When I would go back to the academy for in-service training, I would go visit with him. I have always valued his friendship and the guidance  he provided for both my work and my personal life. He will be missed.

I am sorry to hear about your passing God be with your family.

I have known John since we attended school together, from elementary through high school and even back then he was one of the good guys and he remained so throughout his life. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. Rest in peace old friend. Sharon, may God give you and your entire family peace and comfort throughout the coming days.

Proverbs 18:24 - "A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."  
I am forever thankful for my friend, John Lambert.  I look forward to the day when I will see John again.

So thankful that God brought John and Sharon Lambert into my life almost 40 years ago. John and Sharon have been as close to my heart as any brother or sister. Thru the years they have both seen me at my worst and at my best and supported me thru both. I always knew if I needed them, they would be there. It is hard to imagine life without John around.......someone to laugh with, argue with and pick back and forth. I so miss John; but my separation from John and others is only for a fleeting moment. One day I too will get to see my Savior and enjoy all the wonders of Heaven just like my friend John and other loved ones are doing at this very moment. I will cherish all the memories that I have of this fine man; and look forward to seeing him on my trip to Glory. I pray that Sharon, Stephanie, Eddie and Ethan will experience a tremendous outpouring of God's love, blessings and comfort in the days to come.

Senior Officer John C. Lambert was truly one of Houston's Finest. They don't come any better. We've lost a wonderful person with a heart of GOLD.

I've known Officer John Lambert since our Academy days. He was in the class after me. John was a true friend and colleague. We usually saw him once or twice a year to qualify. We would spend about an hour just talking about HPD, and also how he planned on spending his retirement. He was a very patient man, a man of his word, honest and religious. He loved his family. I could not have asked for a better friend. God may you give this family peace knowing we have John in heaven watching over all of us. Our condolences go out to his family. May God Bless You.

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I met Officer Lambert over 17 years ago. Like many, I was a cadet and had never shot a gun before.  I knew you wanted to throw your hands up, but you never did. I knew there was something different about you. God never gave up on you, and in return, you never gave up on me. I will always remember your beautiful smile! May God grant strength to your family during this difficult time.

Gone but never forgotten.... You will truly be missed by your family in blue.

I know your soul will shine bright in heaven, just as you shined here on Earth. You will be missed everyday until we see you again.

Our families shared so many good times together.  My children have learned a lot  from him and loved him much.  I will remember all the good times we all had together and will cherish them forever. There aren't enough words to express what John meant to my family and so many more.  He is missed and he was loved.

A sweet man was called home by his Father.  May God's love comfort the family.

Officer Lambert was one of my shooting instructors when I went through the academy in 2002. He was very patient even with those of us that were marksmanship challenged. He was a great officer and an even greater husband/friend/father.

John's kind spirit touched so many people. I am so happy to have known him. Sharon and Stephanie, I am so sorry for your loss.

John Lambert was one of the nicest instructors I knew, he always had nice things to say and a great sense of humor.  My prayers are for him and his family.

I cannot find the words to express how deeply John is loved and respected...and how very much he will be missed by the Lambert Life Group class that he taught at NEHBC.

I was in John's class, he was a wonderful Godly man that taught us from God's word.  I learned so much from him in the years I knew him not only as a teacher, but as a friend. He and Sharon were a wonderful Godly family, and I am glad to have her friendship still.  Sorry for your Loss Sharon.  John will be remembered as a Great man of faith.  Cindy Reed

I've known many people but my son's grandfather, my father in law John Lambert is one of the great ones....
Rest in peace... "Pop"

May God be your strength during this difficult time. To one of Houston's Finest - Officer Lambert, thank you for your service.

There is no more love than what is shown in a tear.
Lord, bless Sharon in this most difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

John was, by far, one of the kindest people I have been blessed to work with at HPD. His gentle, encouraging nature made him very effective as an instructor and very easy to trust and befriend. We will definitely miss him at HPD. Prayers for God's grace and comfort to John's family (blood and blue) as John is in our father's home now.

I would just like to say that I am truly sorry to hear of his passing. Over the years he was always very kind to me. God Bless you and your family he will truly be missed.

God, family and friends; John truly had it all. My comfort is knowing that he knew it. I will miss you my friend.

My condolences to the Lambert and Esparza families...he was one Houston's finest and will always be remembered!! #class199

I had the pleasure of working with John at the HPD Academy  many years back and I just wanted to say that I never met a friendlier kinder person than John... THANKS for the smiles... you will be missed
