Lance Collins Obituary
Lance Montel Collins was born on April 21, 1989, in Hampton, Arkansas, to the late Linda Kaye Ware and Jonny Lee Richards. On August 7, 2025, Lance peacefully gained his heavenly rest at St. Mary's Regional Health System in Russellville, Arkansas.
On March 24, 2017, Lance married the love of his life, Regina Collins, and together they built a beautiful life filled with love, laughter, and devotion.
A proud 2008 graduate of Hampton High School, Lance worked at Western Sizzlin until his health required him to step away. Even through challenges, his strength, resilience, and unwavering faith inspired everyone who knew him.
Lance had a heart of pure gold. To know him was truly to love him. His warm smile, quick wit, and kind spirit could brighten the darkest day. He was a faithful and devoted husband, a loving and protective father, and a loyal brother and friend. His love for his family was limitless, and he lived each day making sure they felt it.
He is preceded in death by his mother, Linda Kaye Ware, his father, Johnny Lee Richards, his stepfather, J.C. Ware; his grandparents, James & Thelma Collins; his sister, Monica Rainey; three aunts, Angelina Walter, Melissa Collins, and Lisa Partman; and his cousin Damien Williams.
