He grew up in and also attended schools in the Pasadena area and earned the respected medal of Eagle Scout before graduating from Sam Rayburn High School in 1968. Cecil then attended Sam Houston State University where he met the love of his life, Marcy, with whom he was married to for 37 years. He would later earn his Master's in Education from the University of Houston. Shortly after graduating from Sam Houston State University, Cecil began teaching and impacted the lives of hundreds of students in Pasadena, La Porte, and Galena Park school districts until he retired in May of 2009. Cecil loved music and sang with the Houston Symphony Chorus for many years. He will be remembered for his sense of humor but more so for his generosity in all things and his genuine kind nature. He was loved and will be missed by many. Cecil was preceded in death by his mother and father, Maxine and Shorty Lanier.
