Lance loved life, especially time spent with family. Whether it was hosting large family gatherings or simple visits, for him, what mattered most was being together. His humor and wit were a constant source of laughter that brightened everyone’s day. Lance had a passion for exploring the vast wilderness of the Canadian Rockies. This sense of adventure and desire to learn was a reminder to us all that life is a world of experience. Lance had a kind heart and a gentle soul and did what he could to make the daily lives of those around him better. His simple acts of kindness and thoughtful gestures had a profound effect on all that knew him. Lance was a very special person and will always be remembered; forever in our hearts.
