Lance Durrant

January 22, 2025

Lance Durrant, of Long Branch, passed away peacefully on January 22nd after a courageous three-year battle with colon cancer. Born and raised in Long Branch, Lance always held fond memories of his hometown, especially his love for the Blue Goose Tavern.

A lifelong fan of the Boston Bruins and New York Yankees, Lance had a passion for sports. He also enjoyed traveling, soaking up the sun, and sitting on his front deck chatting with neighbors, always seeking out new connections.

Lance was happily together with the love of his life, Karen, for 51 wonderful years. Together, they built a life filled with love and laughter, raising two adoring daughters, Jessica and Lindsay. He was also a proud grandfather to Ayden and father-in-law to Mike.

Lance will be deeply missed by his brothers, Roland Kellow and Rickie Durrant (Robin); his sisters-in-law, Gail Benn and Cleone Bastien; his niece, Nicole (Jamie), and their two beautiful boys, Bryson and Grayden; as well as his lifelong best friend, Rick, and his wife Carla.

His love of sports, music, and good times left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him, and he will be sorely missed by all.
