Hey guys, today has been really, really rough. I don't know if you all heard the tragic news that Lane passed away in a car accident yesterday, but I wanted to take some time to tell you all how much he meant to me.

Over the last decade, Lane has been one of my closest and kindest friends. He was the type of person who would literally fly across the country at the drop of a hat to help you if you needed it. The kind you could sit with for hours and talk about nothing and everything all at once.

He did so much in his lifetime, yet there was still so much more ahead of him. He truly loved people, and he inspired so many in this world—including myself. I have so many great things I want to say about him, but I still can’t find the right words to put it all together.

I’ll forever hope to make him proud. Hearing this news has been incredibly numbing—it still doesn’t feel real. I find myself walking around my house, talking to him, hoping he can hear me. And at least in my heart, I believe he can.
