1947 – 2021
It is with deep sadness that we mourn the loss of our father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend Lance Wendall Tanner (formerly Arthur Martin Therres) who passed away on July 2, 2021, at 73 years old. Born in Humboldt, Saskatchewan October 26, 1947, to the late Alex and Marie (née Fredrich) Therres.
Lance worked in construction for most of his life. Although he had many titles: Drywaller, Taper, Framer. Lance was a wealth of knowledge no matter the subject or task and there was nothing that he could not accomplish.
Lance Wendall Tanner will live on through his family. He is survived by his son Kristopher Lance Tanner; daughter Crystal Dhillon; his three grandchildren Keishawn, Amari, and Azariah; brothers Leo, Guy, and Murray; sisters Dorothy, Ann, and Darlene; 5 nephews and 8 nieces; and friends that became family. Sadly, he was predeceased by the most beautiful girl in the world: his daughter Candyce Marie Therres.
Lance will forever be missed, cherished, and loved.
I love you Dad. Forever and Always!! xoxox

Dear family,
It’s with a heavy heart to say good bye to such an amazing man. I send much love to all his children and grandchildren as well as other extended family.
The Lance I knew was a quiet soul. I remember him at Grandma’s place sitting there quietly and had taken the silver cigarette paper out of packets which was then added to a round silver paper ball which he later donated to a charity that purchased wheelchairs for the needy. Rest In Peace Uncle Lance, we will see each other again at some point. Love your Niece, Deb Woods (née Nedoborski)
I am very sorry for your loss and wish your family strength during this difficult time.

Love your sister Dorothy Nedoborski
We are deeply saddened by the loss that your family has encountered. We wish to express our sincere sympathy to all his children, grandchildren, family and friends, Love Sandy and Allen Mercier (nee Nedoborski).
