December 12, 1941 — November 24, 2017
John F. Lampkins Sr., 75, passed away of a sudden illness in his home on Friday morning November 24, 2017.
John was born December 12, 1941 in Hazard, Kentucky to Marion and Frona (Baird) Lampkins. Shortly after his family moved to the Marshall County area. He graduated from Tyner High School with the class of 1959.
