Danny Dwight Lamb, 68, of Plainville, Kansas, passed away on March 16, 2024, at Redbud Village Nursing Home in Plainville. He was born on March 27, 1955, in Great Bend, Kansas, the son of Elwin "Pete" Dwight and Bessie (Nowak) Lamb.
Danny proudly served his country in the armed services before embarking on a varied career path. He was a skilled welder, and small business owner. His endeavors included buying and selling personal items on EBay, owning an auction house, managing hotels, and operating a food truck. He did all of these things alongside his beloved partner of over 40 years, Kayleen Haselhorst who passed away in November of 2023.
In addition to his professional pursuits, Danny was passionate about several hobbies. He was a drummer in his youth and is remembered for singing songs that reminded people of Elvis Presley. His fondest memories were those he spent as a race car driver. Even when faced with dementia in the end, his eyes would sparkle when people talked about racing. Additionally, Danny found joy in attending auctions, gambling at local casinos, as well as fishing at the local lake with Kayleen. They were inseparable until the end.
Danny will be remembered by his children, Jason Lamb (wife, Elizabeth) of Wichita, and Danielle Lamb-Hunt of Wichita; grandchildren, Mariah Lamb, Cameron, and Max Hunt, all of Wichita; stepdaughter, Wendy Porembski of Overland Park, Kansas; step-grandchildren, Carly Benjamin of Kansas City, Missouri, and Lauren Garner (Jack) of Wakeeney, Kansas; brother, Rick Lamb (wife, Susan) of Hoisington, Kansas; sister-in-law, Faye Lamb of Great Bend, Kansas, as well as Kayleens family who loved and adored Danny. In the end, it was Kayleen's niece, Kim and her husband, Matt Sutter along with their son, Trenton who provided him with his daily needs and support. Danny was preceded in death by his parents, Pete and Bessie Lamb; brothers, Gerald (Jerry) and LeRoy (Roy); sisters, Sandra Hoffman (Steve) Miller, Glennis (Sam) McNett, and Nancy Lamb.
