Michael Lamb

Michael Walker Lamb, 54, of Cape Girardeau, Missouri died Wednesday evening, December 27, 2023 at his home.

He was born March 26, 1969 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri to Carol and Robert (Bobby) Lamb. Michael attended Trinity Lutheran School K-8, graduated from Cape Central High School, and attended Southeast Missouri State University. Michael was “a percussionist at Central High School, and was a member of the symphonic, jazz, pep and Trinity bands, the orchestra, and the percussion ensemble.” He and his lifelong friends formed the band The Underground. Michael was a beautiful, gifted musician, and a beautiful, gifted human being.

Michael worked for IBM in the 80’s as a trouble shooter/problem solver, as a bricklayer, for Campbell Mattress, and ended his work life with Robinson Transport Inc. Michael liked working in his yard, having conversations about many different topics, spending time with his dog Sissy, and playing the you know what out of his drums.

Losing Michael is indescribable. The way he chose to live his life after receiving a Cancer Diagnosis is an example of a positive guideline on how to conduct your life. He was surrounded, loved, supported, and cheered on by some exceptional people while he faced Cancer. He will always be loved and he will always be missed.

Survivors include his two sons, Jeremy Lamb (Megan) and Jordan Lamb (Dannielle); six beautiful grandchildren; a sister Robin Boyer (Eric); 2 nieces and 2 nephews; and friends he considered his family.

Michael was preceded in death by his parents Robert (Bobby) and Carol Lamb.

A Celebration of life will be held at a later date.

The family would like to thank the Staff of Barnes Jewish Hospital and The Siteman Cancer Center for the exceptional care Michael received from the time he received his diagnosis. The family would also like to thank all of the First Responders.
