Zachary Lambert

Zachary Martin Lambert, born on July 21, 1983, in Tupelo, Mississippi, passed away peacefully at his residence in Columbus, Georgia, on August 29, 2025. He was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend, whose life was a testament to the joy of laughter and the warmth of family.

Zachary was known for his spontaneous spirit and a remarkable sense of humor. He possessed an uncanny ability to make others laugh, turning ordinary moments into cherished memories. His heart was deeply rooted in his family and friends, and he always loved spending time with those who mattered most. Whether it was gathering for a game night or simply enjoying a walk, Zachary's vibrant personality brought joy to every occasion.

A huge Chuck Norris fan, Zachary enjoyed delving into the world of video games, where he could combine his love for adventure with the company of friends. His passions were many, but it was his family that truly defined him. He shared a special bond with his mother, Melinda Reynolds, and his siblings, Chasity Peden, Eric Pell, and Katie Wilson, who will forever hold his spirit dear to their hearts. James Jarrett, both a brother and close friend, enriched his life in countless ways, and together they created a treasure trove of memories.

His nephews, Samej Williams, Alex Peden, Tucker Peden, and niece, Daijah Johnson, were sources of immense pride and joy for Zachary. He enjoyed being an enthusiastic uncle, always ready with a giggle or a light-hearted joke to brighten their days. The loving support of his brother-in-law, Hoyt Peden, sister-in-law, Elizabeth Pell, and brother-in-law, JaCory Wilson, created an unbreakable bond within the family, making every gathering a warm celebration of love.

Zachary is also survived by many aunts and uncles, including Charles Moore, Hilda Moore, Charlotte Digby, Lloyd Digby, Teresa McNeece, and Jeff McNeece, not to mention nine cousins and countless friends who were touched by his kindness and laughter.

He joins in eternal rest his grandmother, Juanita Martin, grandfather, Charles Martin, uncle, Larry Martin, and aunt, Ann Mackey, all of whom he cherished deeply. Their memory will continue to inspire and comfort those he leaves behind.

As we remember Zachary, we celebrate a life that was filled with camaraderie, laughter, and love. His spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew him, as we carry forward the joy and spontaneous laughter he brought into our lives. His legacy is one that will forever be cherished, a reminder to embrace each moment and share love generously.
