About Tanner Nathaniel JeansSeptember 28, 1996 - June 23, 2004
Tanner Nathaniel Jeans blessed his family with 7 years of life. Tanner was born on September 28th, 1996 at Overlake Hospital in Bellevue. He was a loving son to Christen and Brian Jeans and a caring brother to Hayden, age 5. Tanner lived for life and for sports. He was an exceptional athlete – in both skill and sportsmanship. His classmates remember Tanner as someone who played by the rules, was dependable, and was a good friend. Tanner loved baseball, basketball, soccer, and football, along with “trampoline dodgeball” and “baseball wrestling.” He enjoyed playing pirate swords and Yu-gi-oh cards. Simply put, Tanner lived every moment of his life to its fullest. His sense of humor and wit made his friends laugh and created many funny stories for his family to retell. Tanner’s family and friends feel forever blessed to have had 7 years with this bundle of energy and joy. We love you Tanner and look forward to seeing you again someday.
