Notes:

Freddie R. Lamm, son of Mildred Jean (Pfeiffer) and Henry Silas Lamm Jr., was born September 11, 1955, in Boonville, Missouri, and departed life on May 26, 2022, at Menorah Medical Center in Overland Park, Kansas, surrounded by his loving family.

Freddie was raised on a farm outside of Wooldridge, Missouri, until 1976 when his parents retired from farming and moved to Boonville, Missouri. Freddie attended the University of Missouri and earned a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering and a Master’s Degree in Agricultural Engineering. While working at the Kansas State University’s Colby Branch Experiment Station he earned his Doctoral Degree of Agricultural Engineering and subsequently earned his Professional Engineering license.

Freddie was a compassionate person and not only believed but lived a life by Luke 12:48, “For unto whom much is given, much is expected.” This was shown by how he dedicated his efforts to helping others, such as, the College View Baptist Church, Colby After School Program, Thomas County Genesis Food Bank, Jana’s Campaign, and donating proceeds from his published works to farmers. Freddie enjoyed politics and was always up for a lively discussion.

One of Freddie’s proudest moments of 2022, would be completing his 43rd year working at the Kansas State University Northwest Research-Extension Center. During his time at NWREC, Freddie was always at the cutting edge of irrigation research and contributed to internationally recognized technologies: sub-surface drip irrigation. His contributions were further recognized by his Irrigation Association Man of the Year award and being named a Fellow of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineering.
