Lance Matthew Mulholland was born on Friday, February 13th, 1970 in Tahlequah, OK, the son of Perry Cain and Jane Mulholland. He grew up with three sisters and two brothers, Christie, Amanda, Brian, Joshua, and Tracy. He graduated from Tahlequah High School and then began his college classes at NSU. He met and shared his life with Tonya Marie Ballard, they were each others best friend. Lance knew that Tonya kept the homefires burning when he was away driving truck. When he wasn’t trucking, he loved to be home and riding horses. He was a member of the Okie Arkie Trail Riders and was happy with his friends on the trail. He loved his children and showed his support for his son Morgan, watching him play football. He had recently began delivering propane locally just to be home for his family, where you could find him grilling and making his friends and family the best ribs and steaks. Lance was a member of the Masons and Cherokee Masonic Lodge Number 10 in Tahlequah. Lance was a friend to many and knew no strangers. He never had problems letting you know where he stood on any issue. The best days were outdoors with family and friends, having a few cold ones and just talking the day away. He was so proud of his nieces and nephews, and loved any chance to be with them on the weekends or holidays. A Baptist by faith, Lance left the family he loved too soon on Sunday, October 7th, 2018 following an accident, falling from his horse. Lance was 48 years old. He leaves a void that no one can fill.

He is preceded in death by his mother, father, and his grandparents, John Whitt and Beulah Mulholland and Richard and Lucinda Stanley.
