I was saddened to see that Conrad passed away. I spent the first 8 years of my life following him around like a love-sick little puppy (Lou was my babysitter). I am sure he got really sick of me being his shadow! The Tanner family holds a special place in my heart! Thanks for all the childhood memories! You are in my thoughts and prayers!

So Sorry to hear about Conrad. We had a lot of good times and he taught us much as we served with him in the Bishopric with Bishop Rowley. He was always up for a good time with the youth. I remember when he cleaned his transmission garage spotless so they could have a dance. I think he had more fun than they did. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Joyce, Love Clint and Linda Orme.

Such a beautiful service. So fitting for a special man and disciple of Jesus Christ. We are glad we were able to come last night and to the service today with my 2 children who also loved Conrad so much and your family.

There are so many vivid and wonderful memories. Thank you for the time you served us in the ward in Magna when we were starting our family, the years of friendship, and taking care of us over the years when we needed work done on our car. Joyce and Shaun, Tristen, Shae, and Trent - thank you for sharing your husband and Father.

A special memory we remember the very most was when our Son Jared was ordained a deacon when he was 12 years old and Conrad came out to the ordination and stood in the circle when Jared got his priesthood. Jared thought that was so neat and special and we hold that dear and close to our hearts and will forever.

Conrad Tanner was a great man and mechanic. And a good friend to my father. I'm grateful I was able to meet him, experience his expert ability with cars, and know this honorable man.

Aunt Joyce I am so glad that Uncle Con is no longer suffering and that you don't have to watch the suffering anymore...but oh what a loss. You are sealed to an amazing man! I love you both! Uncle Con was always a shining light! He made everyone feel so loved and each conversation made me feel like he wanted to know my life. Heaven has gained an amazing man! I will miss him as I know so many others will. You are an amazing woman and I know you have the comfort of knowing you will be together for eternity. My prayers are with you and your family! Love you all!

Dear Joyce, Tristen, Shaun, Shae , and Trenton & Family , we are so heartbroken and sorry for your loss. I will always remember Conrad's friendliness, smile and light he brought everywhere. He was so friendly and a friend to everyone. I met him as a young child and remember growing up going into his shop when my parents had service done on their vehicles. Just memories of being around this awesome man during those times. And him being a family friend. He was the bishop out here in Magna in the ward that my parents lived in when they were young married and when my brother Jared (who is about 19 months older than I). was a little baby. Take comfort in knowing you all will see him again. We love you all
