LANCASTER – A memorial service will be held this Thursday, March 21, for California Highway Patrol Officer Johnathan P. Tanner, who passed away last week from a terminal illness.

The service, which is open to the public, will start at 10 a.m. at Lancaster Baptist Church, located at 4020 East Lancaster Boulevard.

    Why must the good die young and the wicked live? There was and there is a reason that extends to the end of time, if you remove his death from the sequence of events that God had preordained from the beginning of time ,then God’s mission would not have been accomplished because all things work together

    Today he is in heaven waiting for those he loved to join him. He has already met Jesus face to face, he has seen the face of God.
