Paul A. Lambert

Brookfield - Paul A. Lambert, 72, formerly of Girard, entered God’s eternal glory and reunited with love ones on Saturday, August 5, 2023 at his home surrounded with love by his family.

Paul was born December 29, 1950 in Youngstown, a son of the late Nick M. and Doris R. Lambert.

Paul graduated from Girard High School in 1969. Paul was a veteran of the U.S. Navy. He served on the USS Forrestal CV59 and the USS Vulcan as a Hull Technician 3rd class from 1969 to 1973. He served during the Vietnam war and received an honorable discharge. He attended A.T.E.S. Technical & Mahoning County Technical school obtaining certificates of completion. Paul worked in the Engineering and Maintenance departments of Youngstown State University, and he retired in 2008 with 30 years of service.

Paul was an accomplish craftsman in construction, remodeling, and he was talented in crafting electric and acoustic guitars. Paul was an avid Cleveland Browns fan. Although, as much he loved riding his Harleys he loved Jesus Christ more! Paul accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior in 1980. His Love for Jesus was most evident in his music. Paul, his family and friends would band together to form gospel groups to proclaim God’s greatest gift to man, his son, Jesus Christ who died for our sins. “Sky Pilot” annually played venues such as the G.C.F. OX Roast/Car Show that was held on Labor Day Weekends at the Trumbull Co. Fair grounds.

Paul will be deeply missed by his wife Betty, whom he married on June 10, 1978; sons, Daniel and Nick (Becky) Lambert, daughter, Erin (Nicholas) Mitchell and step-grand children, Marcus, Ryan, and Jocelyn all of Brookfield; brother, Thomas Lambert of Cortland, sister, Cathy (Robert) Bowker of Brookfield, and sister Aldeen (Roman) Swerdan of North Benton. Also, many nieces, nephews and great nephews.

Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Nick M. Lambert and Doris R. Lambert, a nephew, Tommy, a great niece, Raven and our adopted, son Eric Gill who was tragically killed riding his Harley on 6-26-2023.

Paul will be remembered and deeply missed by his extended family and friends that he has encountered during his temporally earthly life. Last but not least his German Shepherd CoCo.
