8.15.25 – APFA DCA Base Brief – Remembering John “Jack” Lane III

Remembering John “Jack” Lane III

Friday, August 15, 2025

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of our fellow DCA Flight Attendant, John “Jack” Lane III.

Jack was more than just a colleague—he was a beloved member of our Flight Attendant family. Known for his warmth, professionalism, and genuine kindness, Jack was truly one of a kind, with a wonderful sense of wit and humor.

He earned the respect and admiration of both passengers and coworkers. His presence on board provided comfort to many, and his absence will be deeply felt.

There will be no scheduled services. Condolences may be sent to Jack’s dear friend, Neda Karan, at:

210 Saint Luke Court
Wilmington, NC 28409

As we say in our industry—fly high, Jack. You will be greatly missed.

In Solidarity,

John Pennel
