Tommy Lane, 75, of Bay City, TX passed away June 30, 2020. He was born August 21, 1944 in Bay City to Gilbert Elroy Lane and Silvia Lee Hardy Lane.

Tommy was born and raised in Bay City and attended Bay City High School.  He served in the Unites States Air Force during the Vietnam Era and worked as a welder for Philips 66 for 30 years. He was married to the love of his life, Nancy Ruth Keller Lane in 1969 and they shared 40 wonderful years together and a daughter, Juliet.  He was a first rate Harley mechanic and bike builder and earned the nick name "The Harley Whisperer" from his biker family.  He spent many years chasing that passion and owned three motorcycle shops, most recently Easy Street Cycles. He was a member of the Texas Historical Shootist Society in the 1990's and was a Trailhead Official and an Executive Board member.  He spent a few years in that same decade building hot rods, including a 1958 Chevy truck and a 1972 Corvette Stingray.  He was never happier than when he had a throttle, a wrench or a long gun in his hands.

Tommy is preceded in death by his parents; his wife and his sister, Peggy Ann Lane.   He is survived by his daughter Juliet Lane, many nieces and nephews, and a large number of people who saw him as a second father, grandfather or a trusted friend.

The family will receive friends and relatives beginning at 1:00 pm Friday, July 3, 2020 at Taylor Bros. Funeral Home. Services will follow at 2:00 pm. Interment will follow at Ashby Cemetery in El Maton, TX. Pallbearers are Ian Anderson, Max Anderson, Jeff McMillan, Andrew "Deck" Deckard, Mike "Rooster" Hoke and John F.
