Lance West Obituary
May 9, 2024 our well-loved spirited husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle Lance Edward West left our earthly world to take his place in heaven. There he is surrounded by God, his parents Stephen and Fredonia West, his brother Skip West and all his furry friends. Born in Dayton, Ohio and most recently residing in Franklin Township, Ohio. He faced a daunting task of recovering from major back surgery that his heart could no longer endure. He will be forever missed by his wife Vicki McClannan West of 36 years, son Anthony A. West and his wife Stacey; daughter Mariah West Davis and husband William C. Davis; grandsons Hunter, Dylan and fiancé Savannah Meyer, Landyn, Logan, Declan; granddaughters Olivia and Isla; brothers Philip West and wife Linda, Eric West and wife Jeri; nieces Erica Monbeck and Lisa Holt. Our hearts are broken but we put our faith in God that he is now free of all worries and pain. A private family service was held at Baker Hazel & Snider Funeral home. A celebration of his life will happen at a later date. Online memories and condolences can be left for the family at www.bakerhazelsnider.com

Lance hired me into bank security in 1990 when it was Gem Savings/First National Bank of Dayton/National City Bank. I will always remember his laugh. Rest in peace.

I grew up with Lance. Our families were effectively blended as his Mom and my Mom were best friends. In those days we kids roamed the neighborhood with abandon. One day Phil, Skip, me and by brother David, and a few neighbors Ben and Jerry went on a hike. Unknownst to us our younger brothers Lance and my brother Kenneth followed us. They were probably five or six years old and really did not know their way around. The mailman saw them about six blocks away and brought them home. I do not recall all the repercussions for us older brothers. But I am sure Lance and my brother Kenneth had a great adventure.

I was fortunate to have several occasions to work with Lance when we were both investigators. He was a good guy and a good cop.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Lance at MCPO -Welfare Fraud. He was a very nice man and had a sense of humor. I will always remember when he told the story of his son riding his bike (I think to school) and Lance followed him to make sure he got there, but his son didn't know that Lance followed him. Prayers for the family.

So sad to read this, my condolences to the family. Lance and I worked together at LSB. He always had a smile and was so fun to be around. One memory was we had a team meeting in Wilmington and it was snowing really bad on the way home on Rte 68 and the road conditions were not the best. There was a group of us from Vandalia who were riding with Lance, needless to say he was driving like there were no issues with the road conditions and we were all probably gritting our teeth and seatbelts a little bit, but he was laughing telling us not to worry and he got us home safely. Such a good guy. . Sending up prayers for strength and peace during this sad time.
