Lee Carnell Lambert, Jr., 78, of Progress, MS, went to his Heavenly home on Tuesday, November 17, 2020 at his residence.

Mr. Lee was born in New Orleans, LA on November 8, 1942 and was the son of Lee Carnell Lambert, Sr. and Anna Johnson Watson. He was a resident of Covington, LA for many years. He was an active member of Silver Springs Baptist Church in Osyka, MS. He loved his family and friends very much and liked to joke and cut up with everyone.

He enjoyed his horses and received much enjoyment and blessings teaching kids about horses and teaching them to ride. He also enjoyed mentoring young people. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
