Nicholas Franklin Lambert, husband of Patty Lambert and father of two sons, James and Franco Lambert has passed away at the age of 54. The beloved Hall of Fame center for the New England Patriots unexpectedly took his own life this past Thursday. It is believed that after 20 years of playing football in the NFL, the amount of concussions he endured lead to permanent brain damage and ultimately his passing. A funeral service will be held in his honor this Saturday, April 27 at Gillete Stadium in Foxborough, MA where he started and finished his football career. May he rest in peace.
