Christopher Lane Obituary

Christopher D. Lane (Chris), 28 years old of Cumru Township, passed away on April 2, 2020. Born September 13, 1991, he was the son of Thomas Lane and Janet Sebes of Shillington. We are heartbroken to even attempt to summarize in a few paragraphs our love for Christopher. We marveled at him as a toddler when he rode his 2-wheeler at three years old. Stubborn as a mule and resilient as Teflon, a neighbor referred to Chris as a blade of steel. Chris was an ambassador to all as a young child. His first email greeting was HiPeoples. At La Salle Academy and Holy Name High School, Christopher showed a passion for sports and played basketball, baseball, soccer, and football. He was a 2010 graduate of Governor Mifflin High School and took classes at Shippensburg University, Penn State-Berks, and RACC. Chris thought of returning to school to complete his degree. He started working at 15 years and most recently worked at the Reading Hospital for Towne Park. Chris leaves behind two grieving brothers, Jordan Lane of Brooklyn, NY, and Benjamin Lane of King of Prussia, PA. Throughout childhood, Chris, Jordan and Ben were thick as thieves whether setting up paint-ball courses in the backyard or planning a gathering around the firepit. Watching their sibling bonds age and mature was among the finest gifts bestowed upon us as parents. In addition to immediate family, Chris is survived by his grandmother Roselle Sebes of Pittsburgh PA, many loving aunts and uncles, cousins and great cousins, and his beloved dog Archer. A memorial service will be held at a later date due to Covid-19 restrictions. Bean Funeral Home of Shillington is assisting the family with preparations. In lieu of flowers, please make contributions in Chris’ memory to the World Wildlife Foundation.

To the Lane Family especially Jordan and Ben,
I am very sorry to hear of Chris's death. Although I did not know Chris personally, I do remember Jordan and Ben. I am sure that Chris followed in his sibling's footsteps at La Salle. I can see by the smile in his picture that I am correct. I wish you all peace in mind and spirit.

So sorry for your loss and I am here for you, Janet, if you want to talk.

Your son looks like you. So pleasant and wholesome. I can only imagine the grief you are experiencing at this time.

May the Holy Spirit hover around you and your loved ones at this time. Come Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, the Comforter.

Jan, Tom and Family. I am so sorry, and no words can express what I am feeling... May God hold all of you close during this difficult time. I am praying for you.
Twenty years ago my cousin sent me this poem... I hope it brings you the same comfort it brought to me... LOVE YOU Karen

I am standing on the seashore, a ship sails in the morning breeze and starts for the ocean.
He is an object of beauty and I stand watching him till at last he fades on the horizon and someone at my side says: "He is gone."
Gone!
Where
Gone from my sight that is all.
He is just as large in the masts, hull and spars as he was when I saw him, and just as able to bear her load of living freight to its destination.
The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not in him, and just at the moment when someone at my side says,
"He is gone"
there are others who are watching him coming, and other voices take up a glad shout:
"There he comes!"

Jan, Tom, Jordan, and Ben - Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My words cannot even begin to express the deep sorrow I am feeling at this time. I am here for you and holding all of you in my thoughts and prayers. I'll always remember Chris as the "little guy" with the tough exterior, especially since he was the youngest. No matter when I saw him, he always had those sparkling eyes and flashed that infectious smile. That's what I'll miss most. GOD BLESS you all and may the soul of CHRIS rest in the everlasting peace of CHRIST...

Jan, Tom, Jordan, and Ben - Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Words cannot begin to lift the sadness you are feeling, right now, but I am here for you and praying for you and yours. Chris was the sweetest kiddo and at the mercy of his brothers, since he was the baby. No matter when I saw him, he always had those sparkling eyes and that infectious smile. I'll miss that. GOD BLESS YOU ALL and may the soul of Chris rest in the everlasting peace of Christ.
