Lance Sears Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Samaritan Affordable Funeral and Cremation Services - Terre Haute on Dec. 9, 2025.
Lance D. Sears of Brazil, IN passed away on December 5, 2025. He was born on February 6, 1955, in Putnam County, Indiana, to Jack and Freada (McMahel) Sears.

He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, John and Dan. He is survived by his brother, David (Kelly) Sears.

Lance cherished his loyal dachshund, Petie, loved watching Gunsmoke, and was known for his excellent cooking, especially his baklava and ribs. He enjoyed caring for his yard and spending peaceful time at a friend's home, sitting on the back deck beside the fishpond and hummingbird stand, reminiscing about their younger years. He was also a proud Disabled Veteran of the U.S. Army.

Cremation was entrusted to Samaritan Funeral Home. Online condolences may be made to www.samaritanfunerals.com.

What a shock to see this. We've been trying to reach out and get ahold of him for the last month. He would always come over to visit us, or mainly to give loving to our 2 dogs that adored him. So sad to loose him as our true neighbor. We , and Brogan and Jo will miss him terribly.. so sorry for your loss
