Ronald Darel Lamb was born August 17, 1946, in Kanab, Utah, and grew up in nearby Orderville. He was the oldest of four children born to Darel and Farel Lamb. He passed away unexpectedly on May 1, 2024, at the age of 77 in Glendale, Utah.
He was a 1964 graduate of Valley High School, where he excelled academically and athletically. He was voted Best Athlete his senior year. He graduated from Dixie College after serving a full-time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the British Mission.
Ron married Kathleen Dallin in the St. George LDS Temple on December 21, 1968. They briefly lived in St. George and Cedar City before moving to Page, Arizona, in January of 1970, where they made their permanent home and raised their four children.
When they moved to Page, Ron helped with the construction of the Navajo Generating Station and then worked at the power plant for Salt River Project as an instrument technician until his retirement in the summer of 2008. He continued working the overhaul each winter for many years.
Ron always served willingly in his church callings, including as bishop, stake presidency counselor, young men’s leader, ward mission leader, and high councilor. In addition to callings, he was a friend to all and a wonderful example of connecting and keeping in touch with family and friends. After 41 years together, Kathy passed away in Page in July 2010.
Ron later married Carol Sue Brinkerhoff on June 30, 2012, in Glendale, Utah. They had many fun adventures around Southern Utah on their four-wheelers. They enjoyed teaching temple preparation classes in the Glendale Ward. Ron loved his family so much, but he especially adored his grandchildren, frequently making trips to visit them and attend their sporting events, concerts and other special occasions.
Ron is survived by his wife, Carol Sue; his children: Ronalee (Aaron) Graham of Flower Mound, Texas, Anni (Mike) Bryan of Tucson, Arizona, Paul (Katherine) Lamb of Parker, Colorado, and Ryan (Tania) Lamb of Winter Garden, Florida; his siblings: Sharlene (Joe) Anderson-Gibbons of St. George, Utah, Brad (Linda) Lamb of Pleasant Grove, Utah, and Derek (Sheri) Lamb of Layton, Utah; 12 grandchildren, four step-grandchildren, four great-grandchildren (with two on the way); and sister-in-law, Diane (Lynn) Chamberlain of Page.

We were very saddened to learn of Ron’s unexpected passing. Many years ago when we were both teenagers I enjoyed working with Ronnie during the summer on the Esplin cattle ranch on the Arizona Strip. Ronnie was a great cowboy and, even as a youngster, he could do a man’s work around the branding corral. Later we both served missions in England for the LDS Church. Over the years our paths have occasionally crossed always resulting in a pleasant visit. Ronnie is a good man and I have always been proud to call him my cousin.
Our prayers are with you at this difficult time. Glen and Helen Esplin
