My beautiful cousin,
Words cannot express how much our entire family will miss you. It is hard to fathom not speaking to you again in this life-time. This goodbye is bitter sweet because our hearts know you are with Papa making fun of us, fishing in heaven with many beautiful cars and holding us from a distance. This new form of communication will be more of us talking to you and you doing a lot of listening. I pray that you guide all of us through our grief as I know we all need some reassurance that it will be okay. I will cherish all of your heart felt messages, I will cherish your new-found spiritual awakening and healing. I will cherish my 30 years of hugs. The fact that you always cared for each and every one of your family members. I will never forget our car rides from IA to St Louis. Jokes you played on Leslie. Your laugh that filled the room. You truly enriched everyones life. I am not just saying that, I mean it. I love you so much! I will miss you! "I'll be seein' you"

This is such a shock to us. We literally just bought it a car from Lance. Lance wasnt just in it to sell us a car but had to make sure it was fit not only for us but for our kiddos. We were sitting in his cubical area as we were finishing up our paperwork and he just kept picking on our lil guy and kept telling him to take more and more candy lol ( not like our son needed any). Then our son who is 4 looks at Lance and tells him that the motorcycle in the show room wasnt real. Lance winked at me and disappeared only to come back and hop on the motorcycle and start it up just to prove to our son it was and making our son grin ear to ear. Lance truly lived his life to please others and he did just that! We hadnt known him much till this experience of buying a car but he had checked in multiple times and talked to him quite a bit after that as he truly became a friend and not just our car guy.
To the family thanks for blessing all our lives with such an amazing guy who touched everyone around hims heart!
RIP Lance you are and always will truly be missed! And thanks for being our lil mans motorcycle friend.

Though I never met Lance directly, I have had the absolute pleasure of knowing those around him who helped shape his life. I hope you all know how special you are as you lean on each other in these difficult times. I know Lance is looking over his wonderful, inexplicably amazing family.

Our love and prayers are with all of you. . Lance was a pleasant young man and sold us a good car. He made sure it was right for us. Terry introduced him to us. If there in anything we can do, let us know.
