Dennis Lamberth

Dennis Jefferson Lamberth, a beacon of knowledge and faith, departed this world on October 9, 2025, in Killeen, Texas, leaving behind a legacy of unwavering dedication and kindness. Born on July 22, 1951, in Montezuma, Georgia, Dennis's journey through life was marked by an insatiable thirst for learning and a steadfast commitment to his beliefs.

Growing up, Dennis's life was a rich tapestry woven with experiences from living in Georgia, Louisiana, New York, Texas, and even abroad in Germany, not once but twice. He was a proud graduate of Killeen High School, class of 1969, where his love for history first took root. Dennis's profound appreciation for the past was not just a hobby but a lens through which he understood the world.

Dennis's professional life was characterized by diligence and service. His career began with a twenty-year tenure cleaning the United Artists theaters, followed by another two decades delivering newspapers for the Temple Daily Telegram. In his latter years, he served his community as a clerk at Mickey's Convenience Stores, greeting customers with a warm smile and a friendly word.

Yet it was his spiritual journey as a Jehovah's Witness that truly defined Dennis. For seventy years, he was a pillar of his congregation, serving as a pioneer and elder for the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses. Dennis's gift for public speaking uplifted many, as he shared the good news with eloquence and conviction.

Dennis's intellectual pursuits knew no bounds. He was a voracious reader, consuming books, newspapers, and encyclopedias with an appetite that never waned. His curiosity was boundless, and his ability to absorb and recall information was nothing short of remarkable.

A lifelong bachelor, Dennis cherished his family home, where memories lingered in every corner. His love for sports, particularly football and baseball, was a source of joy and relaxation. Dennis's passion for cars began in childhood, and his ability to identify makes and models at the tender age of two was a testament to his exceptional mind.

Dennis's life was a testament to his intelligence, thoughtfulness, and faith. These qualities shone through in every aspect of his life, from his interactions with family and friends to his unceasing devotion to his faith.

Dennis was preceded in death by his father, Dock Jefferson Lamberth, Jr., and his grandparents, Dock Jefferson and Minnie Hayes Lamberth, Edison Lee and Ethleen Bivins Howell.

His memory lives on through his beloved mother, Myrliene Howell Lamberth; sister, Bethanie Dale Frazier; nephews, Dathan Scott Camacho (Chandra), and Cole Grayson Camacho (Lindsey); great-nephews, Jude and Jace McFarlane; great-nieces, Malia, Eliana, Sasha(their mother, Aly Camacho Peyton) and Fallon Jean. The numerous uncles, aunts, and cousins from his large extended family also carry forward his legacy of warmth and generosity.

Dennis's life was an inspiring journey of commitment and service. His story encourages us to pursue our passions with vigor, to serve our communities with dedication, and to hold fast to our convictions with grace. Dennis Jefferson Lamberth's memory will forever be a beacon of light, guiding us to live lives of purpose and compassion.

A Celebration of Life service will be held Saturday, November 29 at 3:00 PM at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witness at 2204 Sunny Lane, Killeen, TX, 76541.
