Lance had a passion for gardening, fishing, hunting, animals, helping others and making people laugh. He enjoyed taking his family to Gatlinburg to be surrounded by the peacefulness of the mountains and the outdoors. He loved the Lord and the opportunity to share his faith with family and friends. He also loved his job and the ability to help people. He brought joy and a smile to everyone that knew him. We all have such fond memories and stories with Lance, and he will remain in our hearts forever. We'll never forget his infectious laugh and his kind heart.

Due to covid restrictions, a private memorial service will be planned at a later date.

However, the family would love for you to honor him by doing some of his favorite things such as fishing, plant a garden, watch his favorite movie or TV show, build something, be one with nature, go to the beach or the mountains, kayak, visit a state park, pull a prank, befriend your neighbor, feed the homeless, go to church, call a friend, make someone laugh, or anything that reminds you of Lance.

In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family requests that memorials be mailed to Our Masters Camp, 277 Boys Camp Road, Pikeville, TN 37367 and a memorial page has also been created at curtrightmemorial.wixsite.com/home.
