Laney was a man who took pride in hard work and a job well done. Whether it was at his job, a project around the house, or helping a friend he believed in putting your head down and giving it your all. And for his family – they were his everything, and he simply loved them and gave them the best of himself. It's hard to imagine life without him. His presence was steady and strong, and while he is no longer with us in body, we carry his spirit. We carry it in how we work, how we love, and how we live. We thank you for your countless sacrifices and your quiet strength. We will miss you more than words can say, but we will honor you in how we live our lives. Rest easy!
