Obituary Notice

It is with deep love and profound sadness that we share the passing of Harold Eugene Lane, age 80, of Three Rivers. He passed away peacefully on June 26, 2026, in the home he loved.

Born at home in Bronson, Michigan, on September 13, 1945, Harold graduated from Colon High School in 1963, after which he proudly served in the U.S. Navy. He worked for GTE for 27 years, where he made many lifelong friends. He was a proud member of the American Legion for 57 years.

Harold enjoyed playing tennis, running, hunting, and especially fishing. He treasured every opportunity to cast a line, enjoy the peace of nature, and share his fishing stories. He also loved reading and often finished four or five books each month. In recent years, he took up walking and proudly shared with everyone his accomplishment of walking 1,347 miles in 2025.

Harold was a man whose kindness touched many. His generous heart, caring nature, and quick wit left a lasting impression on all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Above all, Harold had a special love for his family. He was a devoted husband, loving father, and adoring grandfather, affectionately known as “Gappy,” who cherished every moment spent making memories with those he loved – whether making them laugh, lending a helping hand, or sharing his wisdom. He found great joy in ensuring his family was well cared for and happy.

He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Kate Lane; his daughter, Stacie Jackson; his cherished grandson, Justin Rodriguez; his sister, Barb Embler; and many extended family members and dear friends who will miss him greatly.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Hilda Lane; his sister, Marilyn Lane; and his brothers, Robert Paul Lane and Marlin Keith Lane.

The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to all who have offered their support, prayers, and kindness during this difficult time.

Though he will be deeply missed, Harold’s legacy of kindness, generosity, and unwavering love for his family and friends will live on in the hearts of all who loved him.
