Raymond Daniel “Dan” Lambert passed away Thursday October 10, 2019 of complications from lung cancer. He was born August 20, 1939 in New Orleans, La. to the late Marietta L. Lambert and P.D. Lambert Jr. He was preceded in death by his wife of 54 years, Mary Grace Enos Lambert. He is survived by his son Steven Lambert, daughter-in-law Michelle Lambert, daughter Donna Lambert Carter and 4 grandchildren: Casey Lambert, Taylor Lambert (Michael Borkat), Daniel Carter, and LeAnn Carter, his sister Susan Lambert McKay and brother-in-law Ronald McKay.
Dan was raised in Metairie, and was a native of New Orleans, La. After marrying, he lived in River Ridge, La for 20 years. During that time he worked as an electrical contractor with his family’s business, Lambert Electric Company.
He was most at home in the woods and marshes of south Louisiana. He grew up hunting and fishing with his father, uncles and cousins. Dan loved his time hunting and fishing so deeply, that in the mid 1980’s he & his late wife Mary made the family’s weekend get a way along the east bank of the Mississippi River, in Plaquemine parish, their permanent home.
He was a charter fishing guide out of Point `a la Hache, La., where he had fished since his teen years. Beside hunting and fishing, he was also known for his citrus and crayfish businesses both of which he grew and raised on his property in Braithwaite, La. He will mostly be remembered for his sense of adventure that kept him, his son Steve and many friends constantly busy with projects. He will be sorely missed by his family that he was devoted to his entire life, as well as many dear friends he made through the years.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Funeral Mass to be held in the chapel at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. New Orleans, LA 70124 on Tuesday, October 15, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. Visitation will begin at 11:00 a.m. and interment will follow in Metairie Cemetery.
