George Lane Obituary
Born: October 15, 1963 in Queens, New York
Died: December 21, 2022 in Huntley, Illinois
George Robert Lane, Jr., 59, of Marengo, died on December 21, 2022, in Huntley.
George was born in Queens, New York on October 15, 1963, to parents George and Stella (nee Czyzak) Lane, Sr.
Dr. George Lane was a small business owner, operating his chiropractic practice in the town of Marengo for 25 years, where he served countless individuals in the town as well as the surrounding area. He was formerly an Adjunct Professor at McHenry County College, where he taught Biology for 12 semesters. He was currently employed by Pace Analytical as a Facilities Qualification Technician II.
George was an active community member, being involved in the start-up of WXMR 94.3, which would eventually become "Marengo Radio". He also spent multiple seasons as an assistant coach, and eventually a head coach of multiple Marengo-Union Park District baseball teams.
George's greatest joys were coaching park district baseball, listening to the blues and southern rock, and spending quality time in the garage working on his Mini Cooper S' with his two sons.
George is survived by his sons, Nicholas (Meghan) Lane, and Zachary (Sydney Row) Lane, his granddaughter, Alyssa, his father, George Lane Sr., his siblings, Joanna (Lee) Wrench, Helen Zippilli, and Katrina (John) Kiernan, and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Stella Lane.

I'm sorry to hear of the loss of Dr. Lane. He was my chiropractor for years when he was practicing in Marengo. We were both from NY so I always felt an affinity with him. I would say he was the best chiropractor I had ever had. I lost track of him when he left Marengo. To his family, I'm very sorry for our loss. Our sincerest condolences. The struggle is over, God is real. Melinda and Mike Rhodes
