Funeral Story and Marriage Memphis Mafia Member Lamar Fike Elvis Presley 

All the Kings men was an is the best documentary I’ve ever watched. Lamar was the best. He had such a great personality.

Richard's funeral story is 100% accurate. At that time, I was the Chief of Police in the town where Lamar is buried. The family hired the entire police department as security at the funeral. They expected a large crowd of Elvis fans to attend, but there were only about 15 people in attendance. I still have the funeral program from that funeral. The humor during the funeral made for the most unique one I've ever attended. The whiskey bottle was a high end Crown Royal that was Lamar's favorite. David Stanley was a very nice man and when he spoke, the whole room laughed at some of the stories. When they buried Lamar, they took 2 gallons of distilled water and poured them in the grave on top of his ashes to deter anyone trying to retrieve ashes as souvenirs. I was proud that I was in attendance for the funeral of a legend.

You can hear Elvis on occasion call him "Fatty" from the stage as he wants the lighting adjusted, and on some rehearsal recordings. He sure never took it to heart because Elvis loved him, and he knew that. Thanks for the great work you do as always Billy. TCB, Marty D 😁

Good job as usual Spa Guy. I went to Charlie Hodge funeral outside Huntsville and take flowers every year on his death anniversary.

What an awesome video. I've also been intrigued by Lamar thru all the videos and documentaries I've seen him in. I know He Loved Elvis and Elvis Loved him. He was a straight shooter. Loved his sense of humor.

Love Lamar, he did a great quick Q. & A book. One particular comment made me laugh out loud and I reckon sums up how down to earth he was. Can't remember word for word as my sister has the book. He said that Elvis tried to use his belief of being able to heal on Lamar, who at the time had a terrible headache. After sometime of Elvis putting his hands on him he said to Lamar, 'does it feel better?' . Lamar answered 'actually its worse.' I don't think he did any sucking up

I can see why Elvis kept Lamar around he sure was a character. Life is better with laughs.

It sounds like Lamar had a great sense of humour . That’s probably why Elvis kept him around, he enjoyed a good laugh .

Oh wow....I didn't know Lamar had a son. Great story, but kind of sad too. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I thought all the Kings men was a fantastic insight into what elvis was like... Lamar was very truthful and real... I really liked him so RIP, what a brilliant life you had with elvis... Thank you spy guy...

Old Lamar..he was a real piece of work. Loved the story of his funeral. Thanks!

Thank you Mr. Spa Guy and Mr. Trey...super sleuths. That was cool. You never disappoint when it is something with a Elvis connection or even about Elvis himself. Glad Elvis had a friend like Mr. Lamar. RIP Mr. Lamar Fike.

Richard's story about Lamar's funeral was fantastic and I can just see Lamar telling the attendees to kiss his a** on the way out! Lol! Richard can always tell such a great, vivid story! Thanks so much, Billy, for sharing this with us. It means a lot. I hope you and your family had a blessed Thanksgiving! Loads of love! 🥰🥰😎😎Rest in peace, Lamar.

I always liked Lamar. When they showed pictures on the internet of Elvis a lot of the time Lamar was always in the background. This story was very interesting .

Another interesting gem from 'The Spa Guy' ...The best Elvis Archaeologist on this planet..

Didn't really know much about the Memphis Mafia guys who were around Elvis Presley. But Lamar sounds like he was really funny guy. We all have a sense of humor or should because life is too short to be serious.

Hi Billy thank you again I mention one time in yr other vedios saying I never knew Elvis close freinds as the menfis Mafia" only of Elvis 'Australia knew.! Because back in the 60's and 70's .... Australia didn't perchase films clips and vedio clips of other Elvis from America , Australia only received Elvis Presley movies and Holha from Hawilli via satellite 1973 and the broadcast of passing of Elvis . I'm now knowing about the menfis Mafia guys now threw FBOOK media .Thanks Billy . From Sydney Australia Saturday 26/11/22 . Another year nearly nearby to the end for the new year . Sad now another menfis marifa member passing sad to hear there not here . I wounder how larma Fike feelings were when Elvis die 💔💝

I've never heard that story before and I've heard a TON of Elvis stuff. Thanks, Billy n Trey

Ty spa guy for sharing Lamar fike great video and a long friendship with Elvis😁🇨🇦🇨🇦

Such a great story again. Thank you so much. This humour, wonderful Lamar Fike!

I believe Lamar truly was loyal to Elvis and loved him. He hated the colonel and didn't care for dr nick. Just based on those facts, I like him alot!

This was a great vlog I liked Lamar he had a great sense of humour and elvis liked that and I think he had a lot of respect for him he said it how it was and elvis knew that he led a interesting life and he worked hard for elvis

What an ending for Lamar. So enjoyed this video.

Thank you for sharing! I always thought Lamar was Real as a person, and I respect those that are not fake and a real friend.

Thanks for the upload, great info.

Thanks for doing this video, Billy. It's much appreciated.

Great video, I always enjoyed reading or hearing the things Lamar would say about his time with Elvis, he was a great story teller in that. I could see why Elvis kept him around to tickle his funny bone, probably still doing that in heaven too !

Wow!! Thank you Spa Guy!!

Interesting video Billy. Thank-You

Good stuff, SG! Nice.

I’ve seen Lamar in several videos and I’ve always been impressed by him. Out of all the Memphis Mafia guys, he seemed to be the most intelligent, worldly, knowledgeable and honest. He also had a sharp sense of humor.

Awesome video Billy an Trey

Great video! Love Lamar and nice to see some more in depth content about him.

Lamar sounds like a real character. No wonder Elvis loved having him around, he added much needed comic relief for everyone. I would’ve loved him too.

Thank you.

Chelcie sent me here and I'm loving your channel!!! Just finished the video she did with you! So awesome!

Spa guy a nothing one for the books ✔️💛👍🏼.great job like always from 🌞 cali

Great video, the guy telling the story about the funeral of Mr. Fike was great I really enjoyed it !!... thanks!

This was over the top Spa Guy!!

Hey Spa guy, love the video, you should do one with every Mafia member, is very nice to hear about the King friends. Thanks for everything you do for us!! Where’s the lives??❤️

Really cool Billy👍🏼😎

wow!! i here because of your driving tour you did with chelcie lynn.. awesome true information thank you😊

Richard Crofts sure knows how to tell a story!

great video.

Love this story Billy👏👏👏👏⚡😎👍.

Very interesting?, just when we thought we knew everything about Elvis and his Mafia crew.

TY for this video, I have seen Lamar's gravesite and it is just as this gentleman described it. I am happy to hear it was a funny funeral...I think that is just as Lamar would have wanted it. I have read the book mentioned here and it was very obviously a hit job.

Having watched a lot of videos posted about ELVIS by you and Trey and other channels about Lamar and the other ‘Memphis mafia’ guys they all did their best to look after ELVIS🙏🙏🙏⚡️⚡️. Lamar should have had NO regrets. He had wonderful life experiences and was worthy in entering those pearly gates of heaven and got to meet his buddy 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😭😭😭⚡️⚡️🙏🙏♥️♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Great story. I always liked lamar. He did didn't care what he said,lol. He said what he wanted whether it was good or bad. . I luv him. Thanks for the story Bud.

Lamar is the one character that I personally think told the truth as he saw it with no exception!! Very understated and overlooked in my opinion! Met him in Nashville in the mid 90s. He had come to know Dewayne Blackwell and I was fortunate enough to be there in the studio that day. What a character!! He jokes about having a cat……🤷‍♂️

That was a good one billy I been at that waco house next time I'll try to find the cematary

Billy, have you ever interviewed Alanna Nash? Hearing about the books today made me think of the Revelations book with her.

Great story that I have never heard!

So glad you you did this one! Lamar is a gem. His sense of humor alone set him apart. Great job!

Very interesting story. Didn't know much about Lamar but knew who he was in the group.

Amazing story!

Hey Spa guy, iv'e had you and Trey on my mind. Been meaning to reach out to you ,to see how, you both are doing? Still checking out the great stories as usual! I v'e been down and unable to work, things are falling behind. Just want you to know ,am concern and hope that Lori and you are doing ok! You guys has my love and support! Also checking on you guys helps me focus on someone else. Take care ,still watching and tell Trey am watching him as well. Hope he doing well too!

Great story!!!

I've seen several interviews with Lamar. The guy was extremely intelligent and hilarious.

Wow I didn't know Lamar was a road manager for Brenda Lee. Love her songs and not long got her book....Lamar seemed the funny one and as you say Elvis misted of liked and trusted him as he was their a very long time. Thanks Spaguy 👍 🙏

Makes me sad that someone that's apart of Elvis history and music history in general ends up in a little hole in Waco Texas ...

Lamar us smiling at you guys, can you imagine when he sees Elvis?

MANY THANKS FOR ALL INFORMATION ABOUT THE LATE ELVIS PRESLEY ( R.I.P.). ENJOYED ALL OF THEM. ALL THE KINGS MEN !! FROM, U.K. (2024).

A little strange that most the gang was alive and well when Lamar passed and none went to his funeral? At least that’s how I interpreted it. Out of all the memories and American history those boys made as a team and to think it ended like this! Just wow!

Lamar understood Elvis better than most.

Super video as always!!! Love all your videos!!! Thank you sir for doing all hard work that comes with making these great vids!!!

Lamar had the greatest lingo. God bless his soul.

Very cool, love Lamar he was funny & cool. T.C.B.

He turned up at. Elviss house way back in1955/6 as a devoted fan and was always devoted to Elvis in spite of many fall outs they really loved each other.
