JANI LANE Remembered By Family, Friends At Ohio Service
August 23, 2011, 13 years ago
According to Todd Stumpf from The North Royalton Post, for WARRANT singer Jani Lane was remembered last Saturday in an 85-minute service at Crossroads Community Church in Doylestown. The locale was chosen because Lane's first cousin, Adam Gable, is a member of the church.
The service was attended by 100 or so family and friends. The event was closed to the public, but no public showed up. A sole limo sat outside the church throughout the ceremony, before leaving with only its driver.
"We had hundreds of requests," Gable said. "We wanted to keep it very intimate, for family and close friends."Fans seemed to honor that wish. Nobody lingered either inside or outside the church. If there were any curious onlookers, they were gone before the service started. Though a Doylestown police officer was on hand, he wasn't needed.
Inside, friends and family remembered a local kid who made it big, then succumbed to what seems to fell many of his peers.
"He had a demon, which was alcohol," said Gable, who said he last saw Lane in 2010. "I think the drinking just got the best of him."Read more here.
Lane was separated from his third wife, the former Kimberly Nash, at the time of his death. He is survived by two daughters, one from each of his first two marriages.
According to E! Online, an autopsy performed Jani Lane proved inconclusive pending the results of toxicology tests, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's office.
Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter says it may take seven or eight weeks to finalize the cause of death.
