Mills Lane Death, Obituary – Mills Lane, the legendary boxing referee who was known for adopting the words “Let’s get it on,” passed dead at the age of 85. Tommy, Lane’s son, shared with the Reno Gazette Journal that his grandfather, who suffered a stroke 20 years ago, had been receiving hospice care for the past week. Tommy said that his grandfather had been in hospice care since last week. According to Tommy, his father had been receiving care at that location. “He experienced a tremendous fall in his entire standing,” remarked Tommy Lane to the informant, according to the information that was provided.
“It didn’t take us long to be up and running. He did not lack for anything, and he was surrounded by the people he cared about the most. Lane was joined by his wife, Kay, and their boys, Tommy and Terry. Also there was Lane’s daughter, Mary. There was no way for you to tell how much longer he had to live. However, as Tommy Lane pointed out, there is no such thing as being prepared for something like this, despite the fact that we had the feeling that we had been prepared for it the whole time. In addition to his employment as a prosecutor and then as a judge in the state of Nevada, Lane also worked as a boxing referee from the 1970s until the 1990s.
He began his legal career in Nevada as a prosecutor. In the infamous rematch between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield in 1997, he officiated as the referee for the fight. During this battle, Tyson is infamous for biting the ear off of Holyfield, which brought him to the forefront of public consciousness and propelled him to the top of the boxing world. Lane rose to prominence as a cultural icon as a result of his participation in the satirical claymation show “Celebrity Death Match,” which was shown on MTV. In this show, Lane performed the role of the game’s referee.
In order to become the host of the reality television series “Judge Mills Lane,” in which Lane performed the role of an arbitrator, he had to resign from his post as a judge. The show had a total of three seasons that aired between the years 1998 and 2001.
