Dennis Lee Lamb was born on April 25, 1949 in Wichita, Kansas to Helen Mae Lamb and her late husband Lawrence Michael Lamb and died December 10, 2009 in Edmond Oklahoma.

He was the youngest of three having two older siblings, Laura Jane Covey and Lawrence Ronald Lamb. He grew up in Protection, Kansas. Many of his friends remember him as being very funny. He was proud of the fact that despite being the class clown and a poor student in grade school and high school, he excelled in the college classes he took proving to himself that he was as smart as anyone else. His professor even offered him an all expense paid trip for the summer to study marine biology off the coast of Mississippi as only the best students are chosen across this nation to participate.

He went on to marry Phyllis Diana Warkentin on March 21, 1970, at the Saron Mennonite Church of Orienta. They had two children together, Amy and Dorinda. They made their home in Fairview, Oklahoma where Dennis started his own business at the age of 26, Lamb Services, Inc. buying and selling oilfield equipment. After the oil bust in the early 80’s he relocated to Oklahoma City and finally made his home in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Dennis and his nephew, Michael Wright, along with third partner, David Joyce, opened Oklahoma Diesel Power where they buy and sell oilfield generator sets and industrial engines. What he said about all his years in the oilfield, ‘That’s a lot of years in business and a lot of hard work!’ He also took many trips over the years to England to see family there. He was able to see the county his grandmother Martin came on a boat from and never got to see again. He also was able to bring family to his grandmother in her final years from England so she could have a little home come to her. In recent years, his favorite pastime was studying history, economics and politics. He even blogged about his favorite authors and current events. He was most certainly a patriotic man who loved this country and loved studying the founders of it. He also loved a good debate. His favorite song was ‘Precious Lord’ by Bill Medley.

He is survived by daughters, Amy Wilson and husband Terry, Dorinda Gentry and husband, Tim, 8 grandchildren; Seryna, Jax, Lavralei, Gabrielle and Joel Wilson also Seth, Saron and Sheldon Gentry, siblings Laura Jane Covey and Lawrence Ronald Lamb, niece Michelle Picon, nephews Michael Wright, Jim Wright and Anthony Lamb.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Lawrence Michael and Helen Mae Lamb.

Memorials may be made to the Saron Mennonite Church with Fairview Funeral Home acting as custodian.
