Kenneth Mark Tanner

Kenneth Mark Tanner, age 64, passed away on June 14, 2016, at his home, dealing with his 3rd round of cancer. He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Cindy, his children Valerie and husband Daniel, Simon and wife Vanessa, Jessica and husband Michael, Garret, and his mother Ruth. 

Ken was born on July 18, 1951 in Van Nuys, California to Forrest and Ruth Tanner and worked as an electrician, later installing phone booths, and finally as a house painter for his father until he took over the business and named it K. Tanner Painting. He moved with his wife and family to Prescott, Arizona in 1988, where he established his painting business and enjoyed working with his many customers over the years, and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings of Prescott until his death in 2016. 

He was raised as one of Jehovah's Witnesses and firmly believed in the Bible's promise of a time in the near future where there would be no more crime, sickness, and death (Revelation 21:3,4), and tried to share that hope with anyone he could throughout his life. His family knows that he is now getting the best sleep he has ever had and looks forward to the time when they will get to welcome him back in perfect health to life on a paradise earth. (John 5:28,29; Psalm 37:10,11).
