Jerry Keith Lambert, 62, of Owensboro, died peacefully January 20, 2021 surrounded by family. He was born September 27, 1958 in Hammond, Indiana to Mary Trivette and Jurloew Lambert. As a teenager, Keith moved to Kentucky to live with his grandparents, Lucille and Beverly Gregory where he gained his love of farming and strong work ethic. His quality tobacco was well known throughout the tobacco industry. In addition to being a farmer, Keith was one of the owners and managed the Farmers and Daviess County Tobacco Warehouses and in later years, was affiliated with the Center Brick and Planters Tobacco Warehouses. He was the farmers friend; always the first to help a young farmer while continuing to serve all producers in marketing their crop. Keith was also the owner of the Stanley Hardware Store. Breakfast for friends was a specialty. Business lunches at O'Charley's were a common occurrence, with Keith sitting on his personal stool. He had a heart of gold. Keith is now reunited with the Tobacco Dogs in Heaven. He was preceded in death by his wife, Jackie Lambert, in 2003; and a granddaughter, Shiloh Elizabeth Harris.
