It is with profound sadness that we extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and school community of Zane Luman, who tragically lost his life in a car accident in Knoxville, Tennessee, on November 21, 2025. Zane’s passing has left a void that words cannot easily fill, and we join all who knew and loved him in mourning the loss of a remarkable young man whose future held extraordinary promise.

Zane was a senior at Second Baptist High School in Houston, Texas, where he was widely respected for his unwavering commitment to excellence both in the classroom and on the athletic field. As a dedicated student, he approached his education with humility, persistence, and a strong work ethic that inspired his peers. His teachers and classmates remember him not only for his academic achievements but also for the kindness, maturity, and integrity he consistently demonstrated.

On the football field, Zane was known as a talented and disciplined wide receiver whose skill, focus, and leadership elevated every team he played on. Coaches recall his eagerness to learn, his respect for the game, and his determination to push himself and his teammates toward their best. His passion for athletics reflected the same drive he carried into every aspect of his life.

The news of Zane’s sudden passing has deeply affected both his school community in Houston and those who came to know him in Knoxville. In the days following the tragedy, students, faculty, teammates, and friends have gathered to honor his memory through vigils, heartfelt prayers, and personal tributes. These acts of remembrance speak to the profound impact Zane had on the lives around him and the meaningful connections he built during his young life.

As we reflect on this heartbreaking loss, we are reminded of the fragility of life and the importance of promoting safety and awareness among young drivers. While nothing can erase the pain of Zane’s passing, may the love, support, and shared memories of the community bring comfort to his family during this unimaginably difficult time.

Zane will be remembered for his vibrant spirit, his generous heart, and the legacy of excellence he leaves behind. May he rest in peace, and may his memory continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to know him.

It is with profound sorrow that we share the passing of Daniel Lee Winchell Jr., an 18-year-old beloved son, brother, grandson, and friend, whose life was tragically cut short on November 14, 2025, following a car accident. Daniel’s passing has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who knew him, yet his remarkable spirit, compassion, and joy for life will be remembered and celebrated for years to come.

Daniel, affectionately known as Danny, was a young man whose vibrant personality and generous heart touched countless lives. He approached life as an adventurous free spirit, embracing each day with passion, humor, and authenticity. Those who knew him recall his infectious smile, his unwavering sense of loyalty, and the way he could light up a room with his presence. He lived with integrity, always standing up for his beliefs and for the people he loved, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and devotion.

Danny was a proud graduate of Lake Central High School in 2025 and had previously attended Andrean High School. He had recently embarked on a promising career path, pursuing his dream of becoming an electrician with IBEW Local Union 697, demonstrating his commitment to hard work and his desire to build a meaningful future. Outside of his professional aspirations, he had a hands-on spirit, often dedicating his time to meticulously working on his beloved vehicles—a testament to his patience, skill, and passion for the things he loved.

Above all, Danny was devoted to his family. He is survived by his parents, Daniel and Melanie Winchell; his siblings, Brooklyn and Drew; his grandparents, Melinda “Sue” and John Rosaschi, Dawn Winchell, Don and Rita Winchell; his great-grandmother, Betty Winchell; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends, including his godparents, Melissa and Frank Mikolajczyk. His love for his family was evident in every gesture, every word, and every moment he shared with them.

As the community comes together to honor his memory, we celebrate the joy, laughter, and warmth Danny brought to those around him. Memorial contributions may be made to the family to support the education fund of his younger brother, reflecting Danny’s lifelong devotion to family and the people he cherished most.

Visitation and funeral services will be held at Fagen-Miller Funeral Home and St. Michael Church, with burial at Chapel Lawn Cemetery in Crown Point, Indiana.

Though Daniel Lee Winchell Jr. is no longer with us, his spirit, kindness, and passion for life will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew him. His memory serves as a reminder to embrace every moment with love, courage, and joy.

May Danny rest in peace, forever remembered and deeply missed.
