Lane Alan Midgett, age 43, of Richmond, Virginia passed away on Wednesday, September 6, 2023. Lane graduated from Varina High School in 1998 and from Virginia Commonwealth University (with honors) in 2003. He resided in the Richmond area his whole life, and he was a career salesman. With his smile and personality, Lane could sell anything to anyone. At the time of his death, he worked as a sales associate for City Wide Facility Solutions. He was preceded in death by his father, Ronald Alan Midgett; grandparents, Gene Bethel Sears and Jane Kelley Sears. He is survived by his children, Olivia Jane Midgett and Mason Alan Midgett; mother of his children and Forever Friend, Johanna Bragg Midgett; mother, Gail Sears Midgett; family friend, Beatrice Ann Hobson; siblings, Kyle Vaughan Midgett (Kristen) and Patricia Midgett Barr (Jeff); nieces and nephews, Madelyn Mae Midgett, Annabelle Nora Midgett, Kyle Vaughan Midgett, Ruby Gale Midgett, and Ariana Sofia Barr. He is also survived by his extended family members, his uncle, Richard Wayne Sears (Denise) and his children, Rachel Sears Miller, and Morgan Alise Sears; his aunt, Gwen Sears Bullock (Pepper) and her children, Dallas Bullock Nevins, John Cole Bullock, and Jordan Robertson Bullock, his uncle Robert Larry Sears and his children, Charles Kelley Sears (Sarah) and Jennifer Cary Fox (Jamie). Lane loved all of his family, and he cherished time spent at the beach with them. He felt peace there, watching the waves crash onto the shore. Lane’s children were his greatest gifts. Watching Olivia dance and going fishing with Mason were by far his favorite activities. He supported them in diving and in swimming throughout the summer, as he was so proud of their many talents. Lane recently became a member of Free Will Baptist Church. He enjoyed his church family and reading the scripture on Sundays. His AA family and their many activities were so very important to him. Lane will be missed forever. A memorial service for Lane will be held Saturday, September 23, 2023 at 11:00 AM at Woody Funeral Home-Atlee Chapel, 9271 Shady Grove Road, Mechanicsville, VA 23116.
