David W. Lambright, Sr. "Gpa", 66, of Akron, went home peacefully at home on Sunday, August 18, 2013, with his family by his side, following a long illness.
He was born on August 6, 1947 to Catherine and Floyd Lambright.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Sharon; and brother, Ronnie.
He leaves to mourn his loss his children, David, Jr., Scott, and Kelli; his loving ex-wife, Linda; grandchildren, Shianne, Dennver, Dustin, Krystal, Olivia, Danyelle, Ciara, and Hailey; his sisters, Debbie (Tim) and Jackie; brothers, Jed (Lori) and Larry (Terry); and his nieces and nephews.
Dad worked many years as a machinist, last working at P.I.E. Trucking Company. He loved NASCAR Racing, #48 Jimmie Johnson and New England Patriots #12 Tom Brady. At the age of 63, he went and got a tattoo that sported #12. He also loved his soap operas. Dad struggled with COPD and Emphysema for over 10 years. He's not in pain anymore and now you can breathe.
There will be no calling hours, per dad's wishes, and he will be cremated. The family will hold private services. Condolences may be sent to 632 Noah Ave. Akron, OH 44320.
The family would like to thank Dr. Leano, his wonderful pulmonologist, Dr. Bentley. We want to also give a special thanks to Hospice of Visiting Nurse, especially Katrina and Nancy who were always loving and kind to dad. Sharon, thank you for showing love and kindness on the night of his passing.
