Floyd Rowse Tanner
1938 ~ 2013
Dr. Floyd Rowse Tanner, 74, passed away on July 16, 2013 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Floyd was born Sept. 19, 1938 to Douglas Floyd Tanner and Alta Lucille Rowse. He graduated from East High School and the University of Utah. Floyd went on to receive a DDS from USC in 1964.
After graduating from dental school, Floyd returned to Salt Lake City and set up his dental practice in the Holladay area. He met JoAnn Kjar and three months later they were married in the Salt Lake Temple. They had six wonderful children and have added eight very special grandchildren. Floyd's deep love of his family, church, and friends was evident. He was a sensitive and caring dentist and prided himself on being painless in his care. He was a member of the American Dental Assn., Utah Dental Assn., the Salt Lake Dental Assn. from 1964 to present, and held many leadership positions in them. Floyd was also a member of the American Society of Preventative Dentistry, American Assn. of Dental Examiners, American Academy of Operative Dentistry, Western Regional Examining Board, to name a few.
Floyd loved to paint with both watercolors and oils. Going to Monterey with Ed Maryon's watercolor groups each summer to paint on site was a treasured treat and many wonderful pictures evolved from these trips. He had a wonderful baritone voice and he sang in several choral groups with his wife, JoAnn.
