Albert Lamar Haddox was born June 19th, 1938, in Fryeburg, LA to Byron and Grace Wall Haddox and passed away March 1st, 2026, surrounded by family at his home in Arcadia, LA.
Lamar graduated from Farmerville High School in 1956, and shortly after began his career in road construction at the young age of 18. After many years of moving around for work, he eventually settled in Ruston. Despite a lucrative career in the construction business, his need to constantly stay busy led him and his brother, Doug, into a train wreck salvaging business. He spent many years collecting train memorabilia, which he proudly displayed in his offices and home. After closing Soil Stabilizers in 2020 he spent his time collecting and restoring old trucks and equipment. He enjoyed sharing this passion with all of his family and friends, spending much time at his corner car shop in Arcadia watching his old junk cars and trucks being restored.
He was such a generous soul and always wanted to help out those closest to him. Everyone was always welcome to fish on his pond and admire his Canadian geese and ducks. He spent the final years enjoying life on his hill in Arcadia. He was beloved by all and will be truly missed. Lamar was preceded in death by his mother and father.
He is survived by his wife Linda Bentley Haddox; children, Greg Haddox, Leah Anderson (Michael), and Sallie Haddox; step-children, Joe Leslie (Andrea), and Kate Brashear (Jed); grandchildren, Whitney Buck (Joey), Lamar Haddox (Kelsey), Jessica Duncan (Shayne), Sara Wiles (Evan), Lauren Vann, Mitchell Haddox, Morgan Vann, Parker Stallings (fiance’ Ashton), Chloe and Keatyn Brashear; 9 great grandchildren; his siblings, Doug Haddox (Debbie), Mike Haddox (Roni), and Cindy Razer (T.V.); his aunt, Beth Wall Suggs; numerous nieces and nephews; and a host of friends.

Honorary Pallbearers will be TV Razer, Lee Jay Haddox, Brian Vann, Jody Hoenke, Mike Smith, Lee Sullivan, Cary Glen Stevens, Brett May, Terry Lowery, Curtis Goodling, and Wayne Patterson.
