John William Lampkins

June 4, 2018

John William Lampkins, 34, went to be with the Lord in Heaven on June 4, 2018. John lived a full life. He spent his childhood enjoying the east coast, living in Maryland and Virginia. Joining the U.S. Army in 2004 broadened his horizons, exploring the United States and foreign countries. The soldier in him thrived while on deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2011, John decided to be a U.S. Army Reservist—serving his country and furthering his career as a Government contractor. John’s family life and social circle held great importance to him. He adored his daughter, Lauren (age 6), and he shared a beautiful love with his wife Julie. He has joined his mother, Mary Lampkins; his maternal grandfather, Robert DeLaVerne; and his paternal grandparents, John and June Lampkins in Heaven’s paradise. His memory will be cherished by his father William Lampkins; his brother, Jim Lampkins and wife Bell and son Ace; his in-laws; and a host of relatives and friends. A service celebrating John's life will be held at 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 16th in Loving Funeral Home with visitation immediately following the service.
