John Carroll "Johnny" Lane, 75, of Mullins passed away Saturday, April 6, 2019 at McLeod Regional Medical Center. He was born in Mullins on November 9, 1943, the son of the late James T. "Ted" Lane and Miriam Inez Lane. Johnny was a graduate of Mullins High School and received his degree in civil engineering from Florence Darlington Technical School.

He had retired from Frank Horne Construction of Fair Bluff, North Carolina, where he served as an engineer and construction manager. Previously, Johnny worked with the North Carolina Department of Transportation in bridge construction and had also worked in telephone construction, and residential and commercial construction. Johnny was an avid fisherman in both saltwater and freshwater. In his spare time, he loved fishing and any activity on the Little Pee Dee River.

Johnny is survived by his wife, Amelia "Amy" McMillan Lane; five children, John Charles (Ashley) Lane of Latta, David Carroll (Luanne) Lane of Dillon, Daniel James Lane of Latta, Matthew Keith Lane of Loris, and Amelia Meredith Lane of the home; four grandchildren, Colby, Jesse, Raegan, and Seth.
