Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church Tuesday, October 4, 2022. Lane passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family. Son of the late Ralph and Leta Goddard; beloved husband of Karen Goddard (nee Bordeaux); loving father of Christopher (Cristina Blanco) Goddard; dear step-father of Sara (David) Dames and Stephen (Laura) Chapman; adoring grandfather of Elora, Alex, Leo and Max; our dearest brother-in-law, uncle, great-uncle, cousin and friend to many.
Raised in Braymer, MO where he graduated as president of his high school class. He attended the University of Missouri – Columbia, graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree. He went on to attain a Juris Doctorate (University of Missouri – Kansas City) and Masters Degree (University of Missouri – St. Louis), as well as own his own business. But he was most proud of getting his Private Pilot’s license.
Lane will be remembered as a sweet and kind man who made the best of any situation. His sense of humor and wit always kept us laughing. He used to be very active, playing tennis and having a good run daily. Besides his family and friends, his other loves included the Kansas City Chiefs, animals, and playing with the newest technologies. We have fond memories of his delicious BBQ.
Funeral at KUTIS AFFTON CHAPEL, 10151 Gravois, Saturday, October 8, 9:30 a.m. Interment Resurrection Cemetery. Contributions to Stephen A. Orthwein Center appreciated. Visitation Friday, 4-8 p.m.

Lane and I were doormies at Hatch Hall at MU. Lost track of him after graduation but remember him as a fun loving kind guy. Sounds like he led a good and happy life! Sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear of Lane’s passing. I was also from Braymer and went through grade school and high school with Lane. He was such a sweet guy and I don’t know anyone with a negative thing to say about him. His parents, Ralph and Lorraine, were such great people, as was he. My sympathy to the family.
Lane was a buddy of mine all through our grade school and high school years and I remember him and his parents well. My sympathy to all his family
