Tanner was born three months prematurely but miraculously survived to be the most heart-warming, caring, and genuine person one could ever meet. Tanner was a man of faith who lived a vibrant life and maintained unconditional love for his family and friends. He was a supportive and loving son, brother, and companion who valued deep connections. Tanner had a smile that could light up any room on the darkest of days and a laugh more memorable than a melody. Tanner’s beautiful soul, smile, and laugh will live on forever.
Though Tanner’s time on earth was too short for us to understand, he managed to touch every person who knew him. We can take comfort in the fact that he is now at eternal peace and that we will see and hear him one day again in accordance with God’s plan.
