His aunts, Stephanie Williams (née Jesse) and Lesley Dearry (née Eddie), along with his cousins Kia Williams, Shawna Hardy, Michelle Hardy, and special mention Angie King, will forever hold him close in their hearts. A proud alumnus of Academy Park High School's class of 1992, Lamont continued his studies at Penn State University, graduating in 1996.

His colleagues remember him as a steady presence, respected for his professionalism and integrity. Lamont embraced life with an eagerness to explore the world around him. He loved traveling, immersing himself in music, and the freedom he found riding his motorcycle. His passion for sports was unmatched, as he was a diehard fan of both the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Yankees. Despite his quiet and laid-back nature, Lamont was always ready for a good party or an exciting trip, bringing joy and laughter to those around him.
