Jeffrey "Jeff" Nicholas Lane

Jeffrey Nicholas Lane, son of George Howard Lane and Barbara Clune Lane, was born August 11, 1968 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania and passed from this life on March 15, 2020. We are sure he is rocking with Ryan Lane and Rick Benson right now. He was a graduate of Classical High School in Springfield, Massachusetts and received his Bachelors of Computer Science from the State University of New York. He married Patricia Lane on October 12, 2002 and although they didn’t have any children, Jeff was a great stepfather to his stepson, Richard Bamberger. Jeff began a real love of computers from an early age and always told the story of how he walked into the computer lab when he first started college and the professor working on wiring in the subfloor asked him for a screwdriver and that was all she wrote. During college, Jeff worked as a lifeguard for the Villa Roma Resort and as a bartender for the Finger Bullet Recovery Room Café, both of which he always spoke fondly of and which seemed to supply an endless supply of stories from Jeff. After college, Jeff worked at various technology companies: LICA systems Wilson Hill & Associates, Ultra Technologies, Booze Allen Hamilton, Epoch Networking, Verio, and most importantly Digital Nation (according to Jeff describing Digital Nation as one of his best jobs ever). Jeff dedicated the majority of his career to his job at EPA starting in 1993 where he worked in IT Security. He was especially proud of his work at EPA because he felt that his work made a positive impact on the world. Jeff had many passions in his life. He enjoyed woodworking and custom-made various pieces for his home. He was a proud member of the Harley Owners Group, having worked with the Fort Washington Harley dealership to restore a Harley Davidson motorcycle. He had a particular fascination with grilling. He loved movies, especially sneaking out to go see a matinee whenever possible. He loved camping and the outdoors, especially boogie boarding with his family. He enjoyed being meticulous in his organization and had specific procedures for various parts of his life, overthinking things over and over complicating things at times. Most importantly, Jeff was a diehard New England Patriots fan and a strong believer that Tom Brady was the GOAT. Jeff was preceded in death by his mother, Barbara Lane; his cousin, Ryan Lane; and his cousin-in-law, Rick Benson. He is survived by his father, George Lane; step-mom, Chris Lane; his loving wife, Trish; and step-son, Ricky Bamberger. He is also survived by his brother, Greg and wife Kelli and nieces, Sarah and Gabriella; his sister, Jennifer and husband, Chris and nieces Katherine and Bridgett; and many uncles, aunts, cousins, and an incredible list of friends. Every year he would get the opportunity to enjoy time with his family at Chincoteague during the Lane family reunion which was always the highlight of his year. Jeff was a generous person, always helping out and giving extra effort for those in need. Jeff was always a person who animals and kids took a liking to. He had the most infectious smile, lighting any room with his presence. Jeff was looked up to by multitudes of people even if he didn’t realize the impact that he made on peoples lives. He wasn’t always the easiest to get along with or understand but he had one of the largest hearts and was one of the kindest and most gentle people you could ever meet. Jeff as an important person to various people and has made an important impact on their lives. Jeff was a father, an uncle, a cousin, a son, a brother, a friend, and a husband and will be remembered dearly by all who knew him. Due to the COVID- 19 virus, funeral services will be private with a Memorial Mass at a later date.
