Steve Lane Obituary
Steve B. Lane died December 9 at age 73 in Las Vegas, NV., from heart failure. Born in Dodge City, KS., he was raised and completed high school in Cimarron, KS. He attended the University of Nevada, Reno, and later entered the military, serving in Korea. Following his discharge, he attended Kansas University and graduated from the KU Law School.
In 1969, he became a deputy in the civil division of the District Attorney's office in Reno. Lane later became a partner in the Hale Lane Peek Dennison & Howard law firm, which became one of the largest in the state. In 1988, Lane moved to Las Vegas where he started the southern branch of Hale Lane. In 2008, the firm merged with Holland & Hart and he continued to be a consultant.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Bert T. and Ann Angell Lane, and his brother, Michael L. Lane. He is survived by sons Andy, (Amy) and Jeffrey (Kathy) of Las Vegas, and sister, Gaye Delaplane of Reno. The lights of his life were four grandchildren: Peyton, Nolen, Collin, and Mackensey of Las Vegas.
Lane especially enjoyed his time with his family and watching the grandchildren's sporting activities and recitals. He was so proud of his sons and their families. For years, he enjoyed time with his golfing friends.
A wake will be held at noon on Monday, December 17, at the Spanish Trails Country Club, Las Vegas.
In lieu of flowers, please send memorial donations to the Nathan Adelson Hospice, Las Vegas.

I googled Steve just now to find this on the internet. I met Steve and was his secretary for a short period of time in Las Vegas in 2000 and new to the city. Steve welcomed me and gave me great advice in life. I am sorry to hear the news. Steve was compassionate and caring.

Steve was a wonderful human being. We played many roles together in our lives as spouses, parents, grandparents, bridge partners, and through it alll we were always friends. I am so proud of Steve's accomplishments and the fact he was never judgmental of others. He will be missed by our family and his friends.

Steve was a great human being and a fine friend as well as an excellent lawyer. I will remember him more for who he was than what he did, but he was a fine all-around friend and attorney.

Steve was a kind, thoughtful and caring person. He was a good friend when he lived in northern Nevada and a great help when I ran for statewide office in the mid-nineties. I was deeply saddened to learn of his passing. May memories of happy times together sustain his family during this difficult time.
