Lance was the proud father of Savanna and Connor. Lance loved his family and was always a great protector. Lance loved the outdoors and especially hunting, shooting and watching the Redskins play on Sundays. Most recently, you could find Lance riding dirt bikes on the weekends with Connor. Lance also loved working on cars and was very proud of his restored 1986 J20 Jeep Truck.
