System Mechanic - Clean, repair, protect, and speed up your PC!Lane Azlin
Lane Isaac Azlin went to live with his "Big Daddy" on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2014.
Tommy and Nikki (Norman) Azlin brought Lane home to Wewoka, Okla. on July 30, 2004 where he grew up with his brother Logan, whom he referred to as Bub and his sister Laci who was simply known as Sis.
Lane loved to be active and enjoyed just about anything happening in the great outdoors.
He was a hunter, a fisherman, a swimmer, a four-wheeling pro, a horse-rider, a bike-rider, a trickster on the trampoline, a sledding pro, and an amazing showman on the inter-tube flying behind the boat.
He loved to pop fireworks and camp out at the lake.
He was a gifted athlete pulling his teams to victory in basketball, football, baseball, and soccer. The kid was fearless.
The greatest gift that God gave Lane was his ability to make friends and make everyone feel at home. He had the biggest smile and entertained people with only his personality.
Popcorn was his favorite food and he was sure his one mission in life was to control the bird population by shooting skeet.
Keeping Lane’s memory alive is his father, mother, brother, and sister of the home; Uncle Bill and Aunt Katigan Cochran of Edmond, Uncle Patrick and Aunt Carlie Hullum of Oklahoma City, Uncle Tony and Aunt Deanna Azlin of Wewoka, Uncle Jimmy Don Azlin of Wewoka, Uncle Shane and Aunt Lynn Azlin of Wewoka, and Uncle Grant and Aunt Nancy Smith of Wewoka.
