Tanner was born July 31, 1993, in Des Moines, Iowa. He graduated from Ankeny High School and attended University of Northern Iowa and Des Moines Area Community College.

Tanner was drawn to any outdoor activity and especially loved boating, spending time at the lake, and Frisbee golf. He loved to dance and liked “fighting” with his brother. He had a magnetic personality and will be missed by all who knew him.
