Bradley James Tanner

I was deeply saddened to learn of Brad's death. I met Brad a few years ago and we developed a friendship. He was a kind and caring man with a great sense of humor. I will miss our chats, but hold all the ones we had close to my heart. I hope you are resting peacefully sweet man!

Though I am still shocked from the sudden passing of my childhood friend, Brad, I am humbled and touched by his time here with us. For those of you who don’t know me, I had been a friend of Brad’s since grade four. As I came in half way thru the school year back 1974, I’ll never forget how he sat only a few rows away, I was so worried I’d be sitting alone, but he was quick to welcome me into his small group of consorts...I believe that old cars became a standard topic. As we all know, Brad was fierce leader with 29yrs in the London Fire Department, but he was a a very kind and caring father, a good friend, and even a greater person that we can only strive to be like. I know he will be tremendously missed by those his lives have touched, the ones he saved and the ones who were fortunate to know him intimately…his family, children and especially his little sister Kim. Thank you for everything, Brad

Ariel and Brett, we were so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. We knew him as a very kind and friendly man. Sending you our love and hugs at this very difficult time.

We are very sorry for your loss, prayers & love to Brads family at this time. R.I.P.

Ariel, Brett, Kim & uncle Les. We are sending our deepest condolences to you all during this difficult time. Brad will be forever missed.

I had the privilege of working with Brad many times and always found him to be professional, knowledgeable and a good man. His sense of humour was keen so you had to be alert around him or you would be a victim of it. Rest in peace Brother.

A professional, head down, hands into the worked - stayed in his lane... served with sincerity and integrity. Borrowing from a poet - 'oh the difference to me'... Family - My sincere condolence for your loss... Brad had so much more to offer - but the choosing of such is not our own. In God shall we trust.

Very sorry to hear of Brad’s passing, an excellent firefighter and an outstanding role model for others. Always a smile, a laugh and a kind word for others. He will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers Rebecca to you and the entire family ❤️

I will always remember our banter at shift change on Rescue 2. Solid guy, I always admired your mechanical skills, and dedication to the job. A true 2 Company guy, a great Firefighter.

You will be missed, my friend.

Brad was one of the first firefighters who welcomed me when I joined the London Fire Department. Every time I encountered him he had a big, bright smile and kind words. He was thoughtful and considerate and extremely good at his job. It's heartbreaking to lose him at such a young age. Rest in Peace, my friend.

We are deeply saddened at the passing of Brad. Our condolences to Ariel and Brett and the entire Tanner family. Brad and I started together at the London Fire Department. We developed a strong friendship as we sat together in recruit training. Brad was a great fire fighter who cared for others and his family. On several occasions Brad worked for me so I could attend various functions for my kids when they were growing up. Rest In Peace. Phill and Issie King

Condolences to Rebecca and family 💜

Oh wee T will miss you.. you are a great friend and you helped my girls out when they needed someone to talk too… you will be truly missed by many. Rest In Peace big guy .

Thank you for everything you did for me and my family. I'm so glad that I could have you in my life. It's sad that you were taken away to soon from us. And thank you for helping me with my school work and for all the welding that we did and for helping me with my welding and for helping me to become better welder and a better person. But I just wanted to let you know that I passed all my CWBs tickets and I'll work hard to keep up my grades and to keep working on my welding. Rest in peace. 🧡🧡

I was so shocked to hear this bad news. My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family.

Les and Kim We are very sorry for your loss. We regret that we can't be with you to celebrate Brad's life. You are in our hearts.

Brad was a tremendous firefighter. I spent many days/nights with him at old and new #2 Station. He always worked his butt off at fires and was a great team member. His knowledge, skill and friendship will be missed by many on the LFD.

He was a sweet man and it was an honour to have met your family. It’s been years but the memories I cherish. My sincerest condolences for you at this time. You have my deepest sympathy ❤️‍🩹 Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love and hugs to you guys xoxox
