Tanner was someone who immediately made you feel like you had been friends for a long time.
He was one of my dad's favourite students at St. Andrew's.
Thinking about his passing still hurts a year on.
He is always smiling in my memories.
I am so sorry.
The world lost a good one.
Story:
I didn't know Tanner well. We were in different classes in elementary school and my dad was his teacher. While lined up for something (church maybe or some school function), Tanner was in line beside me. With my dad leading this line of silent 12 or 13-year olds, Tanner blurts out loudly "Hey Jordan keep your pants on!"
We all laughed.
I did not feel teased, I felt like I was the star of a good joke.
Thanks, Tanner.
And yes, my pants were, and did remain, on.
