Rooted in faith from an early age, Lamar joined St. James Missionary Baptist Church, where he served as an usher under the guidance of his grandmother, Delores A. Porcher. A proud 2001 graduate of Greater Johnstown High School, he went on to attend St. Francis College on a football scholarship before enlisting in the U.S. Air Force. He served honorably for seven years, first in Frankfurt, Germany, then in California. After his military service, Lamar moved to Florida before eventually returning home to Johnstown. Even after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2013, he refused to let the disease limit him. He embraced life fully from jumping out of planes, taking trips, and creating unforgettable moments with his daughters.

Lamar had a fearless spirit and a deep passion for adventure, investing, and real estate. Through his popular #motivationmonday posts on Facebook, he inspired others to live boldly. Above all, he was dedicated to building a lasting legacy for his daughters while always cherishing the steadfast support of his loving mother, Lori, who stood by him through every chapter of his journey.
