It is with great sadness that I write of the passing of Lance McCollum. He suffered an aortic aneurism early Sunday morning. He was rushed into emergency surgery at Auburn Faith Hospital but the damage was too massive to overcome. Please pray for his wife Dawn and their children in this hour of need. There will be no memorial sevice per his wishes. He will be cremated and his ashes scattered at sea over the Southern California area he surfed as a youth. He will be greatly missed by a broad group of people, myself at the top of the list. He was a friend, mentor, musician, luthier and all around great guy. Please direct any correspondence to my email and I will forward it to his wife, Dawn, at the appropriate time. Hank Mauel Mauel Guitars whmauel@mauelguitars.com |

Wow, I don't know what to say. I feel like I just got kicked in the gut as if I've known the man personally for years, somehow. I've followed his craft for a long time- he was definitely a super talented builder. I am praying for this family even right now. Thanks for sharing. |

Wow...seeing that headline was really a shock. I've only had the opportunity to talk to Lance once and he seemed like a really nice, genuine guy. By all accounts he was a really great builder and a true artist. |

I only knew Lance through the OLF - never got the chance to meet him in person. So young... Very sad news indeed. Dennis |

I just spoke to Lance a week or so ago at the NAMM show in Anaheim. How fragile life can be, he will be sorely missed by all. He was a great and very helpful and sharing guy. My heart goes out to his family. |

I met Lance at Healdsburg and can't think of a friendlier luthier. He will be missed by many. |
