He and his brother Willie would relax at night by having tea before going to bed. This was a was a special time for them.
Lamar provided care for our mom, even though he was sick himself. There was nothing too good for mom, that any of us wouldn’t do. Our Queen and King met him at the gate and welcomed him home to the kingdom. Lamar gave his life fully and completely to God in recent years, trusting in God through his health crisis.

To the family of Lamar Lyons: Sorry about your loss! But knowing that Lamar, a man that truly loved the Lord, is resting in the arms of God will provide a special comfort to all. I have known Lamar for many years because of his friendship with Anita. Lamar also helped me out around the house. I appreciated his ability together a job done with excellence. Through our conversations I realized that Lamar had a never ending love relationship with God. So I say this “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord”. Rest on my dear friend, you have gained your crown and “Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.”. May God strengthen and keep each of you family members! Mrs Kirk and Anita
