‘Moonshiners’ star Lance Waldroup dead at 30

Lance Waldroup, a famous Discovery “Moonshiners” bootlegger, has passed away.

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 her son. The cause of death remains uncertain.

Discovery tells TMZ … Lance will be remembered as an adventurous distiller who always sought to take his tasty moonshine recipes to new heights.

Lance appeared in several first seasons of the show … smuggling out of North Carolina with his father. He was one of the younger and less experienced moonshiners and often looked to his father for advice. He also distilled absinthe and scotch.

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 say Lance had survivor’s guilt because his sister died when she was 11 and his brother died when he was 20.

Lance was only 30 years old.
