The news of Lance’s death was confirmed by Discovery in a statement that read, “Lance Waldroup spent several years on MOONSHINERS, bootlegging out of North Carolina with his dad, Jeff. While he was younger and less experienced than other moonshiners on the show, Lance is remembered for his ambition to learn the tricks of the trade and distilled all sorts of spirits, including moonshine, absinthe, and scotch.”
At the same time, Moonshiners’ official Twitter page wrote, “We are saddened to hear about the loss of Lance Waldroup, an adventurous distiller who was featured alongside his father throughout the early seasons of Moonshiners. He will be sorely missed.”
Omg no😢
Lance was the only child in his family who lived past birth, his father Jeff had already lost other kids.
I once had some moonshine made by Jeff and Lance, it was indescribably pure.
What a tragedy, prayers for the Waldroup family.
