Jonathan Terrence Lane, 36, went home to our Lord on Saturday, July 16, 2022.

Jon was born in Greenville, SC on August 21, 1985. He was the son of Stephen Bruce Lane and Karen McCall Schulz.

Jon centered his life around family, friends, and music. He was devoted to his family who loves him dearly. Jon was loving, contemplative and always chose to find the good in people. His friends describe him as a kindhearted soul and a loyal friend. So many say he was “like a brother” and the “family I chose”.

As a child, Jon was quiet and analytical. However, Jon opened up when he discovered his love of music around the age of 10. He learned to play the guitar, including acoustic, bass, and electric guitar, but his true passion was playing the drums. This love of music opened a new world for Jon.

Jon was a member of several local bands over the years with the most recent being Big Radio. He developed deep and long-lasting friendships with people he met while playing music. He enjoyed the energy and crowd that came with performing. Jon told his bandmates that the highlight of his drumming life was playing Artimus’s drum set during a performance of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird” with Artimus Pyle at a local venue in 2018. His bandmates said his feet were not even touching the ground he was so proud and honored.

Jon was preceded in death by his grandparents: Terrence Edward Lane, Kenneth Paul McCall Sr., and Dorothy Hazel McCall.

Jon is survived by his step-mothers, Lisa Lane and Jamie Lou Lane; his step-father, Richard Schulz Sr.; his grandmother, Lillian Lane; his sister, Courtnie Donegan; his brothers, Richard Schulz Jr. and Michael Schulz; his sister-in-law, Michelle Schulz; his brother-in-law, Josh Donegan; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

A Visitation will be held Saturday, July 23, 2022, from 1:30 PM until 2:45 PM at Thomas McAfee Funeral Homes Southeast followed by the Memorial Service at 3:00 PM in the Chapel.

Good bye but only for now My Jon how could you take me down memory “lane”, without a goodbye I need someone to blame. I have so many tears in my eyes, trying to figure out why. You’re gone now and that’s okay because you’ll be with me everyday. You’re a Steelers fan so it’s only right, that I write, about you,,,in this way; S- strong soul T- testing the limits on every drum solo E- extraordinary in every area of love E- effortless stride in being the guy who everyone admired and desired L- loved without conditions E-encouraging with everything R-ridiculously silly in your own way S-sad to have lost you, I wish you could have stayed… P.S. you will forever and always be loved!

Jon and I clicked. A talented drummer and a slacker of a bassist would get together and jam for hours. I've never been able to connect with a drummer like I did with him. He brought a better musician out of me. I lived not too far away from him while in Spartanburg, and he'd call me over for jam sessions often. I'd cook up a bunch of awesome junk food, Garbage Fries to be precise, and we would jam and feast and just have a wonderful time. I kept pestering him to move back to SC when he was living in Vegas. I needed my bro back to jam with. He is one of very few that have come and hung out at my current house, and I even offered him a place to stay when he was struggling a few years ago. There's always plenty more to say of him. I'll truly miss him.
