Joni Lamb, the co-founder and president of the Daystar Television Network, died on May 7, 2026. She was 65 at the time of her death. Joni faced serious medical issues, which rapidly deteriorated after a recent back injury heightened her health challenges. However, even amid such a dire condition, she was able to spend her last moments before death at her home in Bedford, Texas, amid her loved ones. Joni’s untimely demise sparked public curiosity around her successor. The talks have been fuelled by her son, Jonathan, and her daughter-in-law, Suzy Lamb’s, estrangement from her.
Will Joni Lamb’s Son, Jonathan inherit her company, Daystar?
Joni Lamb chucked out the plan for Daystar Television Network’s smooth functioning in her absence. She established a formal continuity plan before her sudden passing on May 7, 2026. In the company’s official statement confirming her death, they said Joni had collaborated with the board of directors to put a succession plan and an executive leadership team in place. The company’s statement could be read as:
“Previously, (Joni Lamb) worked with the board to ensure an executive leadership team was in place so that the ministry would continue uninterrupted…We will keep broadcasting the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every nation, alongside you.”
