Steven A. "Steve" Lane, age 69, of Mondovi, passed away unexpectedly at his home of natural causes on Wednesday, October 2.
He was born on July 13, 1955 in Durand, the third of five children born to the late, Ervin and Phyllis (Bergner) Lane.
Steve attended Durand Schools, graduating from Durand High School with the class of 1973.
Following graduation, Steve worked for Bauer Built and McMahon Motors before he began a career that spanned 30 years with Bauer Gas of Durand as a propane driver, retiring in 2021. Steve also worked weekends hauling milk for Neitzel Trucking of Alma.
In 1997, Steve and his good friend Cindy Black began to spend time together, sharing their thoughts of both the past and the future. This casual friendship would grow over time from friendship to love. Even though they never married, Steve would always consider Cindy to be his wife and would affectionately call her "Chickie."
Steve enjoyed playing on both dart leagues and pool leagues in the Durand area.
Steve will be remembered for his larger-than-life personality, sense of humor and knack to make people smile, his love to meet new people and ability to strike up a conversation with most anyone.
