Community Mourns the Loss of Beloved Family Man Mark Tanner

Mark Tanner, born on October 1, 1964, passed away peacefully on November 28, 2025, surrounded by his devoted wife, Dana Tanner. Their enduring partnership spanned 31 years, and Dana remained by Mark’s side until the end, reflecting the deep bond they shared throughout their lives.

Mark was known for his vibrant personality and his ability to light up any gathering.
