When a local radio station reported his death, it described Lane as an eighth-grader who hoped one day to serve his community.
KATC, the station that had covered the lights a week earlier, described him as the 13-year-old who moved a community to bring Christmas to Youngsville early.
He had wanted to serve his community someday. In the first days of October 2018, it was his community that had put up its lights for him.
