Aaron Steve Tanner

Aaron Steve Tanner, 61, passed from this life on Nov. 9, 2026 at the Upper Valley Hospital, Troy, Ohio.

Aaron is survived by his father, Bruce E. Tanner of Nicoresti, Romania; sister Shannon K. Helton of Tipp City; niece Rachel Baker; great-niece Rylee and great-nephew Braxton; and brothers Arlan W. Davidson and Jeffrey T. Davidson of Strum, Wisconsin. His mother, Sandra K. Tanner, died in 2021.

Aaron was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on July 31, 1965; graduated from Sidney High School in 1983; served in US Army 1983-1986; married Brenda Ahrens in 1987; worked at Ross Aluminum in Sidney for many years until his health-related retirement.

Aaron was an avid Ohio State Buckeyes fan and followed with gusto the Detroit Tigers and Miami Dolphins. He enjoyed cooking and in later years grew attached to his beloved cat Garfield which died during the past summer.

Aaron maintained a jovial attitude throughout a series of health issues. His positive outlook attracted many friends throughout his life. His best friend Rich Coppock and his family gave Aaron so much love and support over the years. We are forever grateful.
