I am so sorry for the Tanner family’s loss. Michael was so loved by many friends. And he will be missed. I am so happy he found the love of his life in September.

You will all be in our thoughts during these grieving days. May the Lord wrap his arms around you all.

A true guys, guy. Even when he walked into my shop to buy Tyler candles & spray for the home he shared with beautiful September. Obviously, he was raised right. Thank you, to the Tanner family, for raising a true, Southern gentleman. The gentle giant, supporting all of us Savannah people but most especially September. I told both Michael & September how much I loved seeing their posts on social media - in a world, right now, often filled with negativity, they were always a positive light. Thank you, Michael & September, for keeping it amazingly real. God called a great name too soon. RIP MT

I remember when you were born, my family took you as our own. My father adored you and my sister couldn’t or wouldn’t put you down. I remember you alway came to my mama saying you were hungry and she would feed you knowing your mother had just fed you lunch. We all loved you so much. You gave us a bigger heart by letting us love you. I hate knowing you are not of this earth anymore but carry you in my heart always.

Mike was an enormous part of my day at the GPA, he was more than a foreman he was a trusted friend. Stand by me Stand by me and bow your head… I’m not speaking to you but your heart instead… Our minds were closed to thoughts that we’ll never see you… Even knowing your condition I thought we’d meet again… You were taken so sudden the news so true… God brought home one of our dearest friends… The normalcy that you brought is far and gone… Like you we’ll all remain strong… Now rest “Our Angel”, beneath the stone. -Alice 10/2021
