Jack J. Lane, 85, of Tyler, passed away peacefully on May 25, 2007, his birthday.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Faye Barnett Lane of Tyler; his daughter, Karen Rike, son-in-law, Kerry (Ked) Rike; granddaughters, Ashley and Kery (Kiki) Rike; sister, Jane Heath, brother-in-law, Glen Heath, nephews; sister-in-law, Lawanda Ellis and five nephews. Jack is preceded in death by his father, James Preston Lane; mother AIlie Mae Causey Lane; sisters, Helen Tausch and Ruth Marie Lane; and his son, Charles Michael Lane.
Jack spent six and one-half years in the Navy during World War II. He was at Pearl Harbor on that day in December when the Japanese attacked.
After the war. Jack returned to his hometown of Jacksonville, met and married Faye Barnett and started his family. In 1950, Jack began his career in the foreign oil business, starting with Aramco in Saudi Arabia. After 11 years with Aramco, he brought his family back to Tyler. After spending three years in Tyler real estate, he decided to follow his passion for overseas work and travel. He returned to the Middle East for five years, then on to the Caribbean, Indonesia, West Africa and Australia.
When it came time to retire from the oil business, he wasn't ready to stop working, so he started a career as a stock broker in Tyler. He worked out of his home until his Alzheimer's disease prevented him from continuing.
The family would like to give a very special thanks to Lavania Anderson Campbell and Bobbie Ross for their friendship and loving care of Jack.
Graveside services will be held at Earle's Chapel in Jacksonville (off of Highway 79 between Jacksonville and lronton), Tuesday, May 29, at 10 a.m. with graveside viewing at 9 a.m. Services will be officiated by Rev. Steve Edwards. Arrangements under direction of Autry Funeral Home, Jacksonville.
Donations may be made to Hospice of East Texas, 4111 University Blvd., Tyler, 75701; and Alzheimer's research.
