Sonny married Glenda Sue McCully on April 1, 1976, in Las Vegas, Nev. They enjoyed 44 years together prior to her death in February 2020. He was the proud father of two sons and even prouder grandfather of three grandchildren. Family was very important to Sonny, as there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for anyone in his family if there was a need. He was raised in a Christian home and was a member of Calvary Baptist Church.

Sonny was easy-going, friendly and made many friends during his lifetime. He was always the same wherever you saw him, and he treated people just as he wanted to be treated with respect. Although he did so much traveling in his job, he still enjoyed taking trips with Glenda and their family whenever possible. He also liked tinkering around the house and working on old cars.

He was preceded in death by his father, George Lane; mother, Eunice Lane; wife, Glenda Lane; and brother-in-law, Jack Lewis.

Sonny is survived by his loving sons, Shaun Lane of Austin; Bobby Lane of Mexia; loved as a daughter, Christy Self; grandsons, Lane, Braden and Cameron of Temple; granddaughter, Kylie Lane of Temple; sister, Carolyn Lewis of Mexia; and several nieces and nephews.
