In memory of Dean Lane

By The Lane Family

Share this page

Together we will keep their star shining bright

Hi friends & family,

My family and I are sharing this page with you as our loving Dad, Dean Lane, recently lost his six year battle to Amyloidosis. 

His six-year long battle affected his heart and central nervous system, removing his ability to walk, eat and go to the bathroom for himself. He was an inspiration to all with his positive attitude despite being bed bound. 

We would like to honour his memory by lighting the way for future Australians affected by Amyloidosis and other blood cancers by supporting the work of the Leukaemia Foundation. We would love a future where no lives are lost to Amyloidosis and other blood cancers.

A donation in memory of Dad means their legacy will have a lasting impact for years to come.

His life will continue to help all Australians with Amyloidosis and other blood cancers access the best treatments, care and support they need to survive, and thrive no matter their background or where they live. Your donation will power ground-breaking research meaning fewer families will be affected in the future.

Please help us honour his legacy by using the 'Donate' button. The more people who know about the Leukaemia Foundation's work, the greater their impact, so please spread the word by sharing this page with your friends, family and colleagues.

Thank you in advance for your generosity. You will be giving an incredible gift of hope.

Love The Lane Family xx

Thank you for your kind support

It's so heart breaking to hear about Dean, he was my favourite teacher and inspired me to follow a path in a design and becoming a design and tech teacher myself. I hope he is at peace now 💖 he will never be forgotten and loved

Oh, when I heard...lost for words. You were an amazing, funny and incredibly supportive colleague! You answered my every bleat, when I called for help with some other unfathomable computer issue and then we sat gossiping until the bell went! I missed you when your illness took you away from work and I still do. Xxxx

I am so sorry for your loss! Absolutely heartbreaking. Dean was an amazing teacher and guide through the crazy years of high school. He ensured everyone got their time to shine and his banter and stories kept the learning fun. I would not be where I am today with out the help and support from Dean - forever grateful.

No pretense, he knew what 'bs' looks like and was one you could talk with. Genuine concern for what teaching is supposed to be about - bringing out the best in young people.

Dean was my Design and tech and Engineering teacher. Although i was bad at engineering, he supported me with my creative side in design. It was because of him that i pursued Architecture.
