John Lane Strobeck

It is with a heavy heart and profound respect that we announce the passing of John Lane Strobeck, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. John departed this world on July 31, 2026, after a courageous battle with a long-term illness. He spent his final days in the compassionate embrace of the Veterans Memorial long-term care facility, where he received exceptional care. Born on June 22, 1942, in Eugene, Oregon, John was the cherished son of Lewis Strobeck and Jessie Pruitt, both of whom predeceased him, as did his oldest sibling, Richard Strobeck. John is survived by 2 brothers Ken Strobeck (Kaye)and his twin brother Don Strobeck (Debbie) his devoted wife, Tamra Strobeck, whom he married in 2008. He also leaves behind his loving son, Kevin L. Strobeck, and daughter-in-law, Michelle; his treasured grandchildren, Michael Strobeck and wife Annabelle, and Rusty with wife Taylor; and four adored great-grandchildren, Amber Lilly, Teddy, Esmarelda, and Henry. John's life was a tapestry of rich experiences and deep commitments. He pursued higher education at the University of Oregon, where he developed a lifelong affection for the Ducks. His service to the nation was marked by his time in the Army from 1962 to 1964. Following his military service, John embarked on a 30-year career with IBM, where he left a lasting impact through his dedication and expertise. His entrepreneurial spirit later led him to co-own Sands Towing with his good friend in Las Vegas, Greg Oliver. John also owned Bright Future Consultants. He delighted many as a DJ at Little Anthony's Diner for 27 years and found profound fulfillment in his role as a minister at the Mission Valley Church of Christ during the last 12 years of his life. John was an active member of the Rotary Club of Tucson, where his kindness, faith, generosity, and ever-present smile were well celebrated. He was a man of simple joys and passions, such as traveling, cruising, and spending leisurely days in Mexico. A classic car aficionado, John passed down his beloved 1954 Skyliner, affectionately named "Goldie," to his son on Kevin's 50th birthday—a testament to his love and legacy. John's life will be honored at a service on August 14, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. at Star Mortuary in Boulder, Nevada. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization close to John's heart, located in Jacksonville, FL. The Strobeck family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of the Boulder Veterans nursing home for their exemplary care and compassion during John's final journey. John Lane Strobeck will be remembered with love, and his memory will forever be a source of inspiration and warmth to all who knew him.
