Tanner was born January 23, 1999, at St. Lukes Hospital in Cedar Rapids, Iowa the son of Harvey Prizler Jr. and Laurie Schwab Prizler. He had completed the second grade at Williamsburg Elementary School, enjoying the summer before he started the third grade which he said would be harder. Tanner enjoyed his childhood, playing soccer, swimming, fishing, and being right along side of his older brothers with 4-H. Living on the farm he was always around tractors and the farm animals which he loved, especially his calf, “Hershey”, dogs, Jake and Gunner, but most of all, he was in his glory if he was covered with dirt, “Dirt was his friend”. His family includes his parents, Laurie and Harvey; brothers, Chris Prizler of Williamsburg; Travis and Tyler both at home; grandmothers, Eleanor Schwab of Cedar Rapids, and Mary Prizler of Williamsburg; many aunts, uncles, and cousins who will dearly miss this beautiful, energetic young man. He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Wayne Schwab and Harvey Prizler Sr. and an uncle, Charlie Prizler. Gay & Ciha Funeral and Cremation Service of Iowa City is caring for Tanner’s family and his services.
