Lane Tuminello
Lane Helveston Tuminello, dedicated husband, son, brother, and friend of many, passed away on November 1, 2022, at the age of 32, surrounded by family at home.
Lane was born to Melinda Ardoin and Dominick Helveston in Nederland, Texas. He graduated from Westbrook High School in Beaumont before attending Texas Tech University where he studied Business Administration and Marketing. After graduating he moved to Austin, Texas where he played professional poker and met the love of his life, Erin Tuminello, née Vassar, and they eventually settled in Beaumont with their three frenchies Pablo, Ivy, and Ace.
Through the years, Lane enjoyed playing and coaching baseball, traveling, cooking, and making memories with his family and friends. Lane was a stranger to no one and found great purpose sharing in the successes, joys, and challenges of those around him. Lane was authentically and wholeheartedly there for those in his life.
He is survived by wife, Erin Tuminello; mother, Melinda Ardoin (Tony), grandparents, Etta and Claude Helveston; sister, Kelly (Troy); and his nieces and nephews: Kannon, Rhett, Carter, Mattie, Brynn, Blaire, Sloane, and Benjamin.
Lane was preceded in death by his paternal great-grandparents, Dorothy and Dominick Tuminello; his maternal grandparents, Virginia and Haden Potter; and his uncle, Patrick Helveston.

Melinda & Tony,
I’m so sorry to hear about Lane. My deepest sympathies to you and your family. May he Rest In Peace.
My deepest sympathies to all of the family. I can’t imagine the pain but I do know time will make it easier. I am glad I got to reconnect with Lane and meet Erin recently, I remembered him in his baseball uniform when you guys lived on Hwy 90.
Melinda,
I am so very sorry for your loss of Lane. Lane was a great friend for Colby. I loved watching our boys playing ball and playing around in the pool. You can rest assured Lane is playing ball again without any pain. I pray that God has his healing arms around you and your family. Cling to God, he will bring you though the storm.
