Michael J. Tanner

Thoughts and prayers for family and friends. He was a wonderful man

We were so very sorry to hear of Mikes passing. He was such a special man. As we worked in agriculture, we often were fortunate to see him quite often. Although we moved from the area in 2008, we continued to stay in touch with annual Christmas cards. Always having pictures of his family and trips that they took, you could see the love he had for life. We actually had just spoke about him a week ago, remembering memories. We send our prayers to family and may memories you have, support you...

My husband Fernando and I enjoyed the friendship of Mike and his love, Kathy Slater for many years. We especially enjoyed our trip to Tahiti together on the Paul Gauguin and their visit to us in Henderson, NV. Mike was also a great swimmer and snorkler. We will miss him and his quiet strength, his gentle manner and sly sense of humor enormously. Rest in peace Mike. Sherrie Spendlove and Fernando Guerrero

We have called Mike our friend for sixty years, starting at Merced County Ag.Dept where I worked in the summer months while still a student, to being my Best Man in our wedding in 1970. What a great friend that will be missed by so many. Rest in Peace my friend. Robert & Linda Huntoon Brookings, OR

What I admired about you so much was your gentle and focus listening when we would talk to you. You were quiet and always let us finish speaking and your responses were fabulous. I will miss you but know you are in the presence of the Lord and very...

Heartfelt thoughts for the Tanner family. Mike was a very kind man, he always had time to chat with Floyd and I on our neighborhood walks. He often gifted us with delicious oranges. He was a wonderful neighbor and will be missed . When I walk today and his dog barks I greet him and remember Mike.

Mike Tanner was such a big part of the Jim Glidden family. He was such a great friend, mentor and inspiration to my dad. Rest in peace and love and condolences to the family.
