David TANNER

David Tanner peacefully passed away in Victoria, surrounded by his loved ones on January 9, 2026, at the age of 65. He will be deeply missed by his wife of 26 years, Jackie, his children Spencer, Wesley, and Zevannah, his grand-daughter Isara, his sisters Marlene, Heather, and Carolyn, and his brother Larry. David was predeceased by none as mentioned. David recently retired from the BC Forest Service after serving 32 years. He had fond memories of growing up in Dorchester, Ontario, until the age of 13, when the family moved to Chatham, Ontario, where he attended Tecumseh High School and made life-long friends. David was a passionate genealogist and enjoyed attending live concerts and events, with the 70's being his favourite decade. He was an avid kayaker, enjoyed travelling, road trips, and all that Vancouver Island had to offer. Those wishing to honour his memory are invited to consider a donation to their local MAiD House. A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 24, at Sands Funeral Chapel - Colwood.
