It truly saddens me to find Lance passed some years back. He was such a lovely person, such a loss. Remembering several classes we had together. We always sat together, which was hard when youre sitting next to a comedian like him. Someones going to get the giggles (me). He was a funny guy who made us all laugh. He was a class act with a kind heart and Im so glad Lance Chambers was my friend. I will treasure those wonderful times. RIP my friend.

My sincere condolences to the Chambers family. I worked with Lance when he was in NY several years ago. He taught quite a bit and I will always remember him for that. He had the utmost respect for others and conducted himself like a true professional. Again, my apologies to his family for their loss. Bryan

I am so truly saddened to hear of Lance's passing. Lance was my neighbor here in Charlotte for the past two years, and I always enjoyed the times we visited with each other. He was an absolutely delightful, warm and engaging individual and true gentleman – extremely kind and always willing to assist me with anything I might need - even with the most mundane tasks like carrying my groceries up the stairs to my apartment. I send my sincere and heartfelt sympathy to his family during this difficult time.

I have fawn memories of Lance & Scott. Rusty Taylor, myself, Lance & Scott were leaving McDonalds one night and the twins were in the back of Rusty's Blazer. Well, the bench seat wasn't bolted down and when Rusty gave it the gas, the seat and the twins went flying to the back of the Blazer. We all four laughed so hard we almost cried. All the way down US 1 and SR 16 we all kept adding to it till we were making jokes about something completely separate from the action. I also remember the twins and I jumping bikers over metal trash cans in their driveway. Smart, funny and just great guys to be around. Mr. & Mrs. Chambers, please know that your family is in our prayers and that you will see Lance again.

November 15, 2014

Scott many will truly miss Lance's vibrant personality, and energy, he made everyone smile around him, he was special. Athough many years have past it feels like yesterday from younger years in school together. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

It makes a little sense now. The last time we spoke he surprised me with words of his admiration towards me. I thought how odd, did he really know me in our youth. Still, I remember this and am grateful for this last wisp of dialogue between us.
