A bit over a year ago I posted this thread ( http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/406 2/770989.html?1443624166 ) about my Brother's nephew who had been diagnosed with cancer. Sadly, he passed in his sleep last night. They had just started hospice care for him a few days earlier. I, and Zanes family were really touched by the good folks of BadWeb. I just wanted to give you all a last thank you, and let you know the final resolution. We all have our day, but Zane's was far too early. Tough day for the family of a good man. | ||

So sorry to hear. Not that any time would have been better but right before Christmas must really be hard for all involved. Every day I am reminded that I have so much to be thankful for... Zane and his family are in my thoughts | ||

Funny, this morning (on the way to counseling) I was just thinking about how badweb is the best community I have ever been a part of. I met wolf at Riders Edge. Court sent me PDFs of a repair procedure on my first Buell. Froggy has always been awesome, online (badweb/forza and off) The WV Buell Rally was a great trip for me, and dad (who visited his childhood friend during the rally), who passed away less than a month later. We may bitch about political differences, but a love of an unusual motorcycle has brought us together in an unbelievably supportive, unconventional 'famaily'. I have met Wolf, Froggy and many others. The support network we have is what keeps me coming back, though my most recent Buell was sold nearly three years ago. I'm looking for another one... | ||

I had recently thought of Zane when I was posting about my cousin's cancer situation in another thread. I'm very sorry to hear of his passing, please pass the condolences of the Anthony clan along to his family. James 1:2-4 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. | ||

Sifo, I totally missed the fund-raising thread you started for Zane and his family last year - I think I was just basically offline altogether for awhile. How are they doing in this ($) regard? Our condolences to you, and to Zane's wife and family. Cancer SUCKS. Ferris and Denise | ||

Matt, I hope your cousin sees a better outcome. I think it's likely. Zane's cancer was never really identified and they never got it under control. As I understand it, cancer cells were in his GI tract but the never identified the tumor that was producing them. He never seemed to respond to the chemotherapy. Ferris, thanks for asking about the fundraising. It is still active if you wish to contribute. https://www.gofundme.com/gz4n6png# His wife Kim will certainly have her hands full. 4 young kids to raise. Just before all of this started, Zane started building a new house on their land to replace the trailer they are living in. He and his dad literally built it with help from other family and friends. I think Zane saw the house as his legacy to his family as things began to turn bad. There's still some interior work to be done before they can get an occupancy permit. He was sleeping in the house when he passed though. They had a good sized gathering of their family there the night before he passed too. Thank you all again for the prayers for his family. They are certainly facing some difficult times. | ||

Hey Tom- my condolences, friend. Prayers up for Zane's family... Keep us posted as to how they fare over the holidays, and if we can help in any way- let's hear about that occupancy permit sooner rather than later. Is it feasible for early in the new year? PM me their snail mail, please. (Message edited by 86129squids on December 20, 2016) | ||

Zane was laid to rest today. The church was packed, and put out all the folding chairs they had for overflow, and still left with people standing. It would seem that he impacted many people in his life in a positive way. I thought I would share his obituary here...
The construction company that he worked for brought in a crane and a huge flag to fly at the church. It was well lit with spot lights last night for the visitation service too.  Zane lived a great life in 34 years. Thanks again for the prayers for his family. | ||

Sifo, Sorry if this is a repeated question from the prior thread, but do you have a mailing addy for Zane's family? D and FB | ||

PM sent. Thanks. |
) and hunting, often with his sons and older daughter. He also loved camping, 3 hour tours, golfing, fishing, and stacking hay. But above all, spending time with his wife and children. He loved taking part in his kids’ activities, passing along his passions and skills. His deep commitment and love for his family will live on forever.
