Mark Allan Tanner, a loving husband and father, passed away on April 8, 2014 after a long and well fought battle with cancer. Mark was born in Bitburg, Germany on April 10, 1967, to Dale and Lauren Tanner and spent his childhood in Germany, Utah, California, and New Mexico alongside his five siblings as his father served in the armed forces.
After high school, Mark was called to the Hamburg, Germany Mission, for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, where he had the opportunity to share his love of The Lord. Upon returning home, he followed in his fathers footsteps and joined the United States Air Force and worked as a linguist at the National Security Agency in Maryland.
While stationed in Monterrey, CA. for language school, Mark met Sherry Jenkins, a fellow service member who would become his best friend and future bride. After their marriage in 1990, they welcomed four children into their home and enjoyed them being at the heart of life.
After his service in the Air Force, Mark received both his Bachelors and Masters Degree from Utah State University and then went on to work in business finance.
Mark loved working shoulder to shoulder with many good people in church callings over the years and truly enjoyed working with the youth of the church, they hold a special place in his heart.
The perfect day for Mark was any day spent with his family, whether it was work or play, it didn't matter as long as it was family time. He always made them a priority in life and made certain they knew of their place in his heart. Mark enjoyed sports of all types but his passion was tennis. He spent many hours on the court over the years and made sure to pass on his love of the game to all of his children.
Mark is survived by his wife, Sherry and their four children, Kelsie, Mitchell, Courtney, and Lleyton, parents; Dale and Lauren Tanner, siblings; Lynette (Mark) Ethridge, Lori (Justin) Byrne, Matt (Delora) Tanner, Leanne (Danny) Johnson, sister-in-law; Marci (Chad) Akagi, and grandmother, Thelma Tanner. He was preceded in death by his brother, Steven.
Sherry and the children would like to express their love and appreciation to their beautiful extended family, loving friends, and a host of dedicated medical staff who have gone not only the second mile, but well beyond, in loving, serving, and helping the family.
