Thomas Daniel Renner

Loving husband, wonderful father, grandfather and great-grandfather, brother and friend, passed away on July 14, 2025, at his home at the age of 79 years. Tom was born on July 03, 1946, in Flint, MI to the late Ethel (Rye) Renner and Roy (Geraldine) Renner. He married the love of his life, Gail Quackenbush on August 5, 1967, in Fosters, MI. Tom worked as a truck driver for the Saginaw County Road Commission, retiring after 38 years of dedicated service. He attended First Baptist Church in Bridgeport. He enjoyed watching his grandson race, hunting and fishing, going to his cabin on Secord Lake and riding the pontoon with his family, and spending time with his beloved dog and companion, Taffy. Family was at the center of Tom's life. He was a devoted husband and proud father, telling everyone he met how his children owned Mr. Asphalt.
