Born Feb. 13, 1956 in Crawfordsville, he was the son of Robert Lane and Ruth Spencer Lane.

Mr. Lane made the most of his dash. He lived his life helping people and was truly one of a kind. He worked at Prowler and R. R. Donnelley before becoming self-employed in the scrap business. He also worked at Walden Recycling, assisting people and giving them a smile or a wave from his truck.

Survivors include his brother, Greg Lane (Dawn) of Crawfordsville; long-time friend, Kathy Haltom; uncle, Larry Spencer (Jill) of Crawfordsville; along with several aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Kim Miller.
