Lance Lynch
Montville — In the early morning of March 23, 2024, Lance William Lynch went home to be with the Lord. Lance was the only child of John Lynch and Ruth Enos Karlson Lynch, who predeceased him. He is survived by his loving wife and partner of 29 years, Janet Price Lynch. He passed away peacefully with his family and friends surrounding him.
Lance was a truck driver for 50 years. He loved his job with Dave and Perrone Stone. He loved snowplowing with Neil and Rick and Allied Snow Removal. He was an avid motorcyclist and absolutely loved his Harley Davidson and going on motorcycle runs with Rich Terragna, Lynn Cromwell and Kelly Castleberry (and many others). He had a passion for Jeeps and owned seven different Jeeps over his lifetime. He loved Oakhill, Daytona, and Tarpon Springs in Florida.
Lance was predeceased by his stepson Christopher Soper in September 2018. He is survived by two stepdaughters, Kayten Sherman and Kelly Soper; and his son-inlaw Norman Bonin. He was so thankful for Kelly and Norman who did everything for him when he became too ill to do it himself. He is also survived by eight grandchildren, including Tajanta Jackson and Teshuah Williams, whom he helped raise in his home for 10 years. Shane and Danielle Maclean also survive him; they made sure to keep him in the lives of his grandchildren after Christopher’s death. His aunt Dale (Harold) Swanson also survives him. His eight grandchildren were always able to keep him smiling even throughout his illness and his final days. His grandchildren who call him “Grampy” are Tajanta, Teshuah, Hailly, Hunter, Peyton, Sawyer, Emmit and Ryder. They were all able to visit him in his final days with 5-yearold Sawyer having no problem climbing into bed with him on the day before his passing. Anthony Kobyluck and his son Ant were also considered family and were with him until his death. He was loved by so many! Lance is also survived by his estranged son, Darryl Lynch; and granddaughter Esme, whom he never had the opportunity to get to know and love. Lance will be missed by many!
Donations in Lance’s memory may be made to Montville Union Baptist Church, 279 CT-163, Montville.
Calling hours for Lance will be held from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 6, at Montville Funeral Home of Church & Allen, 53 Norwich-New London Turnpike, Uncasville.
