God this family it still brings me to tears. Because my Son was in class of 2022. And graduation is coming this year. Praying the family is doing ok. Lance fly high. I love the 8th grade speech.
Although we are not personally acquainted I wanted to offer my Sincere condolences to the family. May the promise found at Acts 24:15 and Psalm 37:29 provide you with a measure of comfort and hope at this difficult time.
Lance and Loren were my students at STEM. Lance took my computer classes in 5th, 6th and 7th grade. I have very fond memories of them both. I remember Lance competing in the Stock Market Game. He was reluctant at first but started to enjoy it especially the week his team was in first place. I saw Lance grow and become a young man in those three years. I met Scott while doing car rider duty. He would pick Lance and Loren up after school daily.
I am sorry for your loss. Please accept my family's sympathy and prayers. There is really nothing the Lord can't do.
I was so touch my this boys sisters interview about the tragic accident that took his life, May God bless this family as he makes all things beautiful in his time, I truly believe his sister will make it her goal in life to carry on the memory of this beautiful soul!! Must love from Kansas

Pam I am so sorry for your loss; this a huge loss to the entire Osceola Community. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Lance has been an AWESOME student for me at STEM; he contributed so much to the Robotics program with his drive and determination. We will miss him terribly! But we will never forget him... I’m here if you need me. I love you and Loren and share your pain for this great loss.
Mrs Smith, I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss. I pray that you and Loren continue to seek comfort in God's love. Mr. Smith and I taught at West Elementary and he was always nice to me. As you know, I taught Lance and Loren at Carroll Smith and I enjoyed them both. Pamela, I will continue to pray for your family.
My prayers and thoughts are with the family in this time of grief. I am so sorry that distance and commitments here did not allow me to attend the funeral and physically be with you at this terrible time. Please know that I am with you in spirit today and for the coming weeks. Pam and Steve were precious to me and I remember their joy when Lance and Loren joined their family. Mr and Mrs Smith were not just colleagues but gracious friends who supported me as they did so many others in the Osceola School System. My prayers are with them as they deal with this tragedy.
May care and love of those around you provide comfort and peace to get you through the days ahead. My most sincere condolences.
I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the pain you are going through. Lance was a friend of mines friend. I’ve heard many great things about him. But once again, I am so sorry for the loss of both your husband and son. I am praying for you and your daughter. You can make it through this, with God anything is possible.
We are so sorry for your families loss. We have been praying and will continue to pray for your family. We go to the Curry St Church of Christ and didn't know your family personally.
Two years as your history teacher, getting to know you, watching you grow, experiencing your flaky sense of humor, being able to “dial it back” with you and the others while sitting in with the band at football games...I am truly blessed to have had these experiences with you, and my heart hurts beyond imagination right now. Requiescat in pace.....
Pam, I am so sorry for your loss. I am thinking about you. Class of 1982
We are praying for your family. My heart aches for your loss. Loren- Jeremiah 29:11
I cannot imagine losing a husband/father and son/brother on the same day. This incredible young man will sorely be missed. Please know that strangers are rooting for your family. God's speed.
I am so sorry for your loss. You don’t know me but I have been following the story. People from all over the country have been praying for you and continue to pray for you. Rely on god to carry you through this and the days to come. As only he can do. God bless you.
I am so very sorry. Your father in law was my elementary school principal and I always thought he was so nice and kind when I was a kid.
I remember well when Steven was born and as he was growing up.
Even when we know our loved ones are in the arms of Jesus its still so incredibly hard. You have so many people praying for you and your daughter in the days and months to come and I pray you can find that peace that passes all understanding.
Praying for the family.
