In 1975, at the age of two years old, Lance moved from California with his family to Arkansas and has lived in Rudy, AR. for 36 years where he acquired too many friends to mention.

He graduated from Alma High School in 1992. Cody Leanna Craven was born September 18, 1992 to Lance and Jo Lana Cody Craven.

After their divorce he met Stephanie Lee. They married in 1996. She brought Landon, age three months into the marriage and Lance raised him as his own son. In 2010, after 14 years of marriage they divorced.

Lance loved the great outdoors, fishing and hunting. He never met a stranger. He would help anyone, anytime as all of you who knew him already know.

The family of Lance Robert Craven would like to thank all of you and the ones who could not be here, for your many kind thoughts and prayers and to remember lance as the kind loving thoughtful person he was.

Good bye son. You will remain in the hearts and minds of your mother and father forever.
