Praying for your family. Lane Lecher was a student in one of my 3rd grade classes at Pleasant Valley Elementary. I have always remembered this young man for several reasons here are a few, first he always wanted to drive a Red Peterbilt truck, his amazing smile, and he was very proud of his red hair. He will be greatly missed and I was privilege to know and teach him! He has always held a place in my heart and always will.

I met Lane when he was in first grade at Chisholm Trail. He had a heart of gold, tons of spunk and orneriness, and really worked hard. He has always held a special place in my heart. I am so very sorry for your loss of such a wonderful young man.

Kyle and Monet sorry for your our loss. Lane is such a wonderful person. I feel honored that he trusted me enough to work on his big 4 wheel drive truck. I could tell then that he was following his dads and uncle jeffs footsteps. Heaven now has its newest truck driver. We know he will be riding high. Rest easy Lane and we will see you again later.

Such a great young man who I enjoyed carrying on country conversations with while talking in the hallways at Heights. Such a tragic loss to family and friends, but his legacy will live on in the hearts of those who knew Lane. "Go Rest High On That Mountain" Mountain

God must have needed a special angel, so he called Lane home. So sad... I will always remember his true heart. He won't be forgotten. "Shana, uh, you're gonna need more milk..." Love you, Lane!

No one knows why bad things happen to those so innocent and whose life has hardly begun. For now it will have to remain the painful mystery that it is. Please know you and your family are in our constant thoughts and prayers. Lane touched many life's and made many smile, he will never be forgotten!
