Lane Sant Obituary
Lane Todd Sant
Born and raised in Edmonds, Lane attended Edmonds High School graduating in 1969. In his youth he enjoyed skiing at Stevens pass, water skiing and motor cycle riding. Later on as a resident on Camano Island spent time on the water fishing and crabbing. Lane also loved to sing. Most of his working career was dealing with people in the service industry and then later for the postal service industry.
Lane was a very easy going, caring, fun loving person. He could really make you laugh. Lane touched many lives and will be sorely missed by family and friends.
Lane is survived by his loving wife, Dixie of 28 years; and his daughter, Samantha Jean Sant.
A Celebration of Lane's life will be held Sunday, January 27, 2013, 1:00 p.m. at Gilbertson Funeral Home in Stanwood, WA with a reception to follow at the American Legion Club.
Please share your thoughts of Lane and sign the online guest register at www.gilbertsonfh.com.

I remember him well, he was a real sweetheart of a guy. I talked to him at the last school reunion that I went too. His family is in my prayers.

I remember Lane as the nice boy who lived just a block over from my house as a kid. He was sweet and his house was always neat as a pin. I remember he asked me to dance once at some dance, and he was very gentlemanly. This really saddens me to hear the news of his passing. I hope he had a really happy life.

Back in 1976 Lane sold me my first car and I have never forgot his name. He told me that I could drive a stick and the encouragement worked, I drove home a brand new honda civic, stick and all,
