“More impressive than his wealth of knowledge was Mark’s kindness and humility,”ochoa wrote Sunday. “He always sought to help people and to ensure that they received proper credit for work that they compiled.

The world of Dallas Cowboys content and the world at large is a better place for having had Mark Lane in it. We should all strive to approach life with the same passion and graciousness that he did.”

Some of the NFL’s best-known media figures paid tribute to Lane on X (formerly Twitter) following his death.

NBC Sports’ Charean Williams wrote that Lane, “was one of the kindest, gentlest souls I have known. He was brilliant at statistics. Some people are dealt a bad hand in life and Mark was one of those. He overcame childhood cancer and fought like crazy to stay alive long enough to get a new lung.”

Longtime Houston Texans beat reporter John McClain recalled how Lane continued working despite health issues.

“Mark was always a super-hard worker who loved covering the NFL,” McClain wrote.

USA Today‘s Doug Farrar recalled Lane as “A brilliant, funny, gifted guy who worked so hard despite health issues that would have stopped a lot of people from doing so.”
