Lance Chafin Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Chism Family Funeral Home - Vine Grove on Sep. 24, 2025.
Lance Chafin, age 20, of Radcliff, KY passed away on Monday, September 22, 2025.

Lance was born on Thursday, February 10, 2005, and in his short but full life, he brought joy and kindness to everyone he met. Known for his big heart, bright smile, and his favorite color purple, Lance was always eager to lend a helping hand.

A 2024 graduate of John Hardin High School, Lance worked at Mark's Feed Store full-time and had previously been employed at Red River Waste and Sky's The Limit. No matter where he worked, he was known for his let's get it done attitude.

Lance loved simple joys-playing video games, especially Minecraft, listening to music with his headphones always nearby, and enjoying marshmallows, one of his favorite treats. He had a gift for making people feel welcomed, valued, and loved.

He leaves behind his mother, Sabrina; brothers, Louis and Leland; his youngest sister, Lysha; and the family's beloved pet, Buddy. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who were blessed to know him.

A celebration of Lance's life will be held at Stithton Baptist Church on Saturday, September 27th at 11:00 AM, with visitation beginning at 10:00 AM at the church. All who knew and loved Lance are invited to come together to celebrate his life.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
