Carlyle Francis Lamkin

Jesus took Carlyle Francis Lamkin home on July 25, 2019, he was 79. With his passing from this world, heaven gained a veteran, a patriot, and a hero. Carlyle was a decorated Navy NCO who earned the Bronze Star for his heroic actions to save others while wounded himself and under hostile fire; he earned the Purple Heart for those wounds sustained during the attack on the U.S.S. Liberty. Carlyle went on to become a decorated police officer for the city of Hialeah, FL; ultimately earning Officer of the Year honors in a career that he loved and was deeply devoted to. A widower, Carlyle was preceded in death by his wife, Claudia Michelle Lamkin, and his legacy is a close and loving family. He is survived by his children, Johnny, Ronnie, Trisha Rowe, Billy, and Cody; his grandchildren Brent, Chris, Karabeth, Ryan, Jaden, and Abigail; and his great-grandchildren, Maggie, Tessa, Carson, Judah, Murphee, and Archer. He is firmly and eternally now in God's embrace.
