To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die… Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
Floyd Rex McLane, 80, of Kyle, was born in San Antonio, TX on August 12, 1937 to Frank G McLane and Florine (Dye) McLane. He died on January 22, 2018 following exacerbation of his long term health problems.
Survivors include his wife, Carolyn, daughter Kimberly McLane Oliver (Larry), children from his blended families Rachel Stone, Alan (Jeff) Stone (Carol), Brett Stone (Katy), and Vickie Buelow. He leaves behind 8 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren, as well as a sister Elizabeth (Mack) Kirk (David), nephew Robert Kirk and special aunt Nelwyn Dye Crowder.
Rex loved to travel, play golf, swim, dance, and listen to smooth music while sipping scotch or a good brandy. He tinkered in his garage and spent time watching people go about their everyday lives, especially children at play. He enjoyed a good movie and dining out afterward with a variety of cuisine choices, but he also loved to cook for others, sometimes presenting dishes he called “gobblygoop” that never were turned down. He was lucky at roulette, happy for even a small return from the lottery, and enjoyed solving Sudoku puzzles. The Dallas Cowboys and the UT Longhorns kept him frustrated but hopeful through the years. He relished long drives on country roads to view scenes from a simpler time, absorb the warmth of the sun & watch the changing cloud formations. Always an avid beachcomber in search of simple treasures, he left footprints in the sands of beaches around the world.
Godspeed, Rex. Enjoy your new adventure!
Sincere regards go to Drs B Goodgame, N Manchanda, and A Perez, whose attention and coordination of care sustained the positive outlook and quality of life that allowed Rex to enjoy several “bonus” years. In his final days the staff of Capitol Hospice of Austin provided outstanding care and comfort. Their presence and support are truly appreciated.
