Steve had an amazing sense of humour and enjoyed making people laugh.
Steve opened his own mechanical contracting business in 1998 (Dean Lane Contractors). He strived to provide the best for his family.
He enjoyed fishing trips with his staff and the boys as well as attending professional sporting events
Steve loved his family. He showed his love by taking his family on many adventures around the world and creating lasting memories. “We’re doin’ it!”
Steve became a member of the Mechanical Contractors Association of Ontario. He later became president of MCA Kitchener Waterloo. Steve was extremely fortunate to be a member of the association. Not only did it provide many new friends from all over Ontario but also several amazing conferences. We got to experience and visit so many incredible places that otherwise may have gone unseen.
Steve had a passion for football, loved his Dallas cowboys. You could always find Steve in his big comfy chair in front of the television on Sunday afternoons, pretty much any day he could be found there!
Steve loved going out for dinner and the experience of tasting different foods. Friday nights were set aside for date night with Carrie and Sunday nights were family dinners at his home with his kids and grandkids.
The backyard pool also provided a meeting spot for family get togethers.
Many thanks go out to all the staff at University Hospital in London CCU Floor 5 bed 1. They provided excellent care to both Steve and his family.
A private family interment will take place in Avondale Cemetery. A public celebration of Steve’s life will be held on Saturday October 1 from 12 pm – 2 pm at the Arden Park Hotel, 552 Ontario Street, Stratford. Donations can be made to the London Health Sciences Foundation Cardiac Care through the W. G. Young Funeral Home, 430 Huron Street, Stratford. 519-271-7411 www.wgyoungfuneralhome.com
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Steve Lane 2022..
