Lance Waldroup, a famous smuggler at Discovery’s “Moonshiners”, died.
Lance died on February 25 in his home state of North Carolina … according to his father, Jeff, who also appeared on the reality show alongside his son. The cause of death remains unclear.
Discovery tells TMZ … Lance will be remembered as an adventurous distiller who was always looking to take his tasty moonlight recipes to new heights.
Lance appeared on several early seasons of the show … smuggling out of North Carolina with his father. He was one of the youngest and least experienced moonshiners and used to ask his father for guidance. He also distilled absinthe and whiskey.
Lance’s family set up a GoFundMe to raise money for a memorial fund, and the description says he was a recovering drug addict who changed his life after going to rehab.
The Waldroups really went through this – the family says that Lance was to blame for a survivor because his sister died when she was 11, and his brother died when he was 20.
Lance was only 30 years old.
