Irven Lane, 86, of Oxley, Arkansas, passed away on October 11, 2026, at home surrounded by family, who loved him deeply.
He was born on December 22, 1939, in Winterport, Maine, the oldest son of Clement Lane and Phyllis Smith.
Irven proudly served in the United States Airforce and was honored to be a veteran.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Clement Lane and Phyllis Smith and stepfather Virgil Smith.
Irven is survived by his wife of 47 years Marlene Gaye Lane of the home, brother Stanley (Jean) Lane of Orono, Maine, his son Richard Lane of Flippin, Arkansas, his daughters Cindy Williams, Barbara Faddis of Harrison, Arkansas, Greta Bass and granddaughter Daelynn Burdine of Oxley, Arkansas. He also leaves behind nine grandchildren and seventeen great grandchildren. Because of his passing there will be a hole in the hearts of many special friends and a host of family members.
He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping and watching football. If you were one of the lucky ones, he would take you riding on his side by side. There was a special place in his heart for his companion Coco. Coco was his 4-legged chihuahua that was at his beckon call.
A memorial service will be planned for a later date.
The family would like to thank Gentiva Hospice for their care and professionalism during this difficult time.
Donations may be made to the American Cancer Society, P. O. Box 6704, Hagerstown, Maryland, 21741.
