Taylor Lane Obituary

Resident of Alamo, California Taylor Nelson Lane, 22, entered into rest on May 6, 2011 in Alamo; he was born on June 12, 1988 in Bellingham, WA. Taylor chose to leave our world, and we don't understand this. His life was full of love, family, friends and wonderful experiences. His love and compassion were evident to all who knew him, and he is dearly missed. He grew up in Bellingham, WA and Incline Village, NV. He attended CalPoly and graduated in 2010 with a BA in Economics. Taylor enjoyed spending time with family and friends snowboarding, wakeboarding, fishing, camping, and socializing. He loved basketball - playing on school teams, in leagues, and any pick up game he could find. He enjoyed cooking, from omelet cookoffs to extravagant dinners to baking cookies. All who knew him experienced his love. Taylor is survived by his Mother, Cindy Taylor and Father, Glenn Lane, and his stepparents Zachary Taylor and Sarah Lane; Grandparents, Joe and Frances Lane and Chuck and Carlene Williams; Stepgrandparents Joe and Nori Taylor; Stepbrother, Chad Taylor and numerous Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and many extended family members and friends, and his beloved dog Brutus. Visitation will be Thursday, May 12, 2011 from 5:00 to 8:00PM at Wilson & Kratzer Chapel of San Ramon Valley, 825 Hartz Way, Danville, CA 94526. Funeral Services will be held at 11:00AM, Friday, May 13, 2011 also at the Funeral Chapel. A memorial will be held at a later date in Washington to remember our beloved Taylor.
