Vadgrup is known for starring in six seasons of “Moonshineers” with his father Jeff. He helped clear up the confusion as well as the Absinth and Scotch trade.
The trend for the former Discovery star states that it was preceded in death by her sister Lindsay Waltrup and her brother Lamar Waltrup. According to the organizer of his GoFundMe campaign, Waltrup had to bear “surviving guilt” after the death of his siblings. This led him to drugs, but he went into rehabilitation and became a “healed addict.”

The campaign also noted that he left “Moonshineers” to care for his mother, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
