Lambert’s parents said they will donate their son’s organs so he can help more people after he’s gone.
They are also setting up a scholarship in his name for students graduating from Lincoln Academy Alternative High School in his hometown of Stillwater, Oklahoma.
The money will be awarded to a student who is going to pursue a career in nursing.
“He said, so I want you to take my ashes and spread them from where I stop to the end,” said Julie Lambert, mother of Grady Lambert. “So Mark and I will have an epic road trip and spread Grady’s ashes along the way.”
