Chamba Lane was as known for giving back to the community as he was for his sometimes controversial commentary.
The KVMR host succumbed to lung cancer Tuesday evening at his Nevada City home.
Last week, some 250 people came to Lane’s living memorial, an event that was one of his first wishes after he received his diagnosis.
“He was still full of wit, whimsy and vinegar,” Baker said. “Really and truly, he was a wonderful human being. A real, true Nevada County character whose voice went far beyond Nevada County.”
