Lane Robert Rossman

Lane Robert Rossman, 12, passed away Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2022, at Bluffton Hospital. He was born Nov. 18, 2009, in Bluffton, to Lynn Rossman and Jayme Luginbuhl. Lane started his life with many hurdles. Lane was born with an extra chromosome, better known as Down Syndrome. He was a sixth grader at Bluffton Schools. In September of 2020, he was diagnosed with leukemia. While at Nationwide Children's Hospital, he became one of the favorites of the nurses and doctors. They said he was one of their easiest patients, very rarely complaining. The outpouring of support and love from the school and community has been overwhelming and appreciated more than you know. In December, he was honored by flipping the switch for Blaze of Lights, Bluffton. Lane loved his family and friends (that were like family) so much. He loved dancing and singing, parties, Batman and Spider-Man, swimming, hamburgers, "Skettios" Spaghettios, ketchup, boating and tubing, ice cream with chocolate syrup, his tablet, dump trumps, "Kickin the bears," "throwing the cards," Mawmaw's chippers, and Gator and Harley rides. Lane was loved by so many and touched so many lives. He was the light of our lives and will be missed by all. Lane's survivors include his father, Lynn Rossman of Jenera; mother, Jayme (Tony) Schumacher of Bluffton; four sisters, Dilyn Rossman, Whitney (Brodie) Boone, Haley (Bryce) Tuttle, and Lydia Schumacher; brother, Jackson Schumacher; six grandparents, Pattie and Roger Luginbuhl, Dee Dillman, Lisa and Dave McAdams, and Mark (Debbie) Schumacher; five aunts and uncles, Missy (Luke) Rausch, Brenda Galvin, June (Ed) Clark, Aaron (Brandi) Schumacher, and Kevin (Jamie) Schumacher; 10 cousins, Killian and Hawkin Rausch, Kayla (Luke) Inbody, Chloe, Lexi, Gavin, Elsie, Max, Oliver, and Hazel Schumacher; niece and nephew, Embry Boone and Aiden Boone; and special friends, Amy Metzger, Beth Nessler, Ellie Harvey, Amy Williams, Emily Metzger, and Leisa Stratton. Lane was preceded in death by two grandfathers, Robert Rossman and Larry Dillman; and uncle, Kevin Galvin. Lane's funeral will be private.
