Michael Gill Obituary
May 17, 2004 - December 13, 2025
Michael "Lane" Gill, 21, of Mechanicsville, VA, was called home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on December 13, 2025. Born in Henrico, VA, Lane grew up in Midlothian before moving to Mechanicsville when he was 11 years old. Lane was a 2022 graduate of Atlee High School, where he was a proud member of the Atlee Raiders football team. Lane went on to work for Carter Machinery as a welder. Lane had a vibrant and loving personality; he never met a stranger. Everyone who encountered him was better for it. Lane loved being outdoors and following sports, including college football, hockey, and baseball. Outside of work, playing guitar, listening to music, driving his truck, cooking, and taking care of his two cats and two dogs filled many happy hours. Most of all though, he loved God and loved and cared for his family and many friends deeply. Lane is survived by his mother, Sheryl; father, Michael; and stepmother, Katherine; sisters, Lindsey and Collins; and stepbrother, Landon; grandparents, Eunice Beck and Michael, and Gayle Gill; as well as many uncles, aunts, and cousins. Lane was preceded in death by his grandfather, Benjamin Jordan.
The family will receive friends on Sunday, December 28, 2025, from 2 to 4 p.m. and again from 6 to 8 p.m., at Woody Funeral Home -Atlee Chapel, 9271 Shady Grove Rd., Mechanicsville, VA 23116.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. He sounds like he was a wonderful person. I can´t imagine your pain. I´m lifting all of you in my prayers for God´s comfort and peace to surround you. I think I can remember meeting him when he was a little guy when we were starting Cosby.

Lane was a wonderful friend to my son. He was so personable. He always made you feel like you were the best cook ever when he shared meals with us. We are so sorry for your loss. Lane will be missed!
