Michael Scott.

“He always said he was Dwight, but I always argued with him on this,” Kennedi said. “He was a total goofball. He made me smile every day, even when we couldn’t be in the same place.”

Ten days after Tanner’s last birthday, he and a group of friends were driving on Highway 177 and when Tanner was asked when his birthday was, he said it had already passed. The group of friends pulled over at a Walmart and got Tanner a cake to celebrate.

Kennedi said she also

set up a “Tanner Appreciation Day” for him at an RHA meeting last semester, filling his table with Red Bull Yellow Edition and Mountain Dew because they were his favorites.

“He also really liked Ritz (Crackers) and bacon-flavored (Cheez Whiz),” Kennedi said.

Kennedi said she and Tanner fought against mental illness every day, but she believes his death was an accident. She last saw him Wednesday evening, when he dropped her off at Drummond because of the cold weather.

“The last thing I said to him was ‘Gnight Tanner.

Stay safe. Text me or call me if you need anything.

I’m here,’” Kennedi said.

“And the last thing he said to me was ‘Gnight Kenn, I’ll ttyl.’”

Kennedi said she and Tanner were almost always connected, whether it was in person or through social media. “(We had a) 61-day streak when it ended; he’s still my mutual best friend on Snapchat,” Kennedi said. “I’m dreading the day that freaking yellow heart goes away.

“I have never had a

friendship as deep as I had with him. Honestly never will again.”

Although grieving the loss of a close friend comes as a new experience to most students, death is not new to Tanner’s family.

Tanner was born April 13, 1998, in Las Vegas to Tim Paget and Tammy Jo Magruder. Tim and Tammy Jo divorced soon after, and Tim moved to Park City, Utah, when Tanner was still an infant.

The O’Colly reached out to Tammy Jo for comment but did not receive STORY CONTINUES ON PAGE 3

a response as of Tuesday.

Tim eventually married Annette Lowery Klingler, and they had Tanner’s two half-siblings, Alexis and Sean.

In December 2006, “Baby Sean” was born with a genetic disorder called Trisomy 18, or Edwards’ syndrome, and died when he was 17 days old. Six weeks later, in January 2007, Alexis, 3, was killed on impact in a car crash, according to a 2007 article from KSL. com.

Tanner was 8 at the time. He had just lost his two siblings in a matter of months.

“Tanner was young, but he loved them,” Marchel said. “I think the loss hit him harder the older he got.”

Sunday was the 11th anniversary of the crash that killed Alexis, but Tim and Marchel said they didn’t believe there was “any correlation between (Tanner) taking his life and the anniversary of Alexis’ death.”

Tim and Annette had Paget’s only living halfbrother, Rylan Paget, 9,

but divorced a couple of years after Sean’s and Alexis’s deaths. Tim later married Marchel and moved to West Jordan, Utah, where Paget lived with his stepsisters, Marchel’s daughters: Mackenzie Warby, 23; Marley Warby, 19; and Morgan Warby, 16.

Tim and Marchel said they would call Tanner and Marley “twins” because they were only two weeks apart and went to a year of high school together at West Jordan High School.

While in Utah, Tim said he and Tanner spent a lot of time hiking and camping.

“Tanner loved being in the outdoors,” Tim said.

“Let’s face it: If you were going on an adventure, Tanner was, too. He was up for new experiences, learning and traveling.”

Along with his day job, Tim is a recreational pilot, and he said Tanner loved to fly. Marchel said Tim and Tanner used to fly to Moab, Utah, get some lunch and fly back.

Tim said he would miss Tanner’s contagious smile and the time they

spent on their adventures.

Marchel said she would miss Tanner’s presence.

“He was confident, helpful, happy and so kind,” Marchel said. “He added so much to our family.”

After Tanner’s birth parents divorced, Tammy Jo moved to Texas and married the late Cody Magruder, Tim and Marchel said. As Tanner got older, he wanted to be with his two stepbrothers, so he went to Texas.

After Cody, Tanner’s stepfather, died a few years ago, Tammy Jo and Tanner moved to Oklahoma, and Tanner Photo courtesy of Paget’s family graduated from Skiatook Tanner Paget at age 9 (right) and his late sister Alexis, 3, at the funeral for “Baby Sean,” who was born High School before going with a genetic disorder called Trisomy 18, or Edwards’ syndrome, and died when he was 17 days old. to OSU. Their family history can be confusing, Marchel said, but the whole family has remained close throughout the years.

Tanner’s new home at OSU was Bennett Hall, and he quickly became friends with his community mentor, Tyler Porter.

“I remember I thought he was kind of a nerd,” Porter said. “But then STORY CONTINUES ON PAGE 4

again, I am, too, so, I (thought), ‘Oh, I’ll be good friends with him.’”

Porter said he and Tanner bonded over Dungeons & Dragons, a tabletop fantasy role-playing game. He said Tanner even scheduled his classes so he wouldn’t have class on Thursday because they played D&D that day.

Porter said Paget got involved with Bennett Community Council and was a senator for Bennett in the HRA Senate. Porter said as a senator, Tanner brought an end to Bennett’s infamous “rape lot,” a poorly lit and secluded parking lot behind the residence hall.

“Tanner got really pissed about it, and in Senate, he wrote a bill to get lights out there, talk to maintenance, talk to all these people and even stood out there one night with a poster and a suit trying to get people’s attention about this parking lot that doesn’t have any lights,” Porter said. “Now, the whole thing’s lit.”

Porter said Paget had a way of giving everyone a new appreciation for life.

Last semester, Porter’s then-girlfriend forgot his birthday, but Porter said Paget put forth an effort to make his birthday special.

Porter said Paget took him to Academy to buy Nerf guns, and they had a war in the Bennett basement, turning over furniture and yelling all night. Afterward, they went to Daylight Donuts when it was first opening, about 5 a.m., and then walked around Boomer Lake, talking about life. He said they called it their “morning date.”

Porter said he didn’t want

him outside, or see him at the office.

“Seeing his desk the other day was so hard. All of his stuff is still there: his bags, all the sticky notes he writes.

It was all still there, just waiting like he’s just going to walk through the door at any moment and sit down to work.”

She said his death surprised her because he had put a down payment on his study abroad trip to Greece, and he seemed to be looking forward to it, she said.

“And our (friend’s) birthday was (Saturday),” McNeese said. “He was going to the birthday party, so I don’t think he would’ve made all these plans and these commitments if he was going to take his own life. It just doesn’t make sense.”

letter to th e e ditor

Remembering Tanner Paget, a friend to all Ja me s Ho o d RHA President Tanner Paget, above anything else, was a friend to all.

I met Tanner in the Residence Hall Association Senate during our freshman year when we both served as senator. Despite our close proximity, it wasn’t until this year, serving together as the head of RHA, that I got to truly know him.

Quickly, Tanner and I became close friends — it was hard not to. He was friendly and caring, gentle but decisive, awkwardly charming and a great leader.

Combine all of this, and he was impossible to not like.

Tanner was a unique person. He loved “The Office.”

One day, he put my name tag into a plate of Jell-O after I forgot it at an RHA event, which he told me was a reference. He was obsessed with Panda Express orange chicken. He enjoyed camping (and was an Eagle Scout) and would tell you the correct pronunciation of Skiatook, Oklahoma. He was passionate about the work we did and about the people in his life.

In all his efforts, Tanner was ambitious. Within our first week of moving back to start on work, while the rest of us were trying to figure out what we should be

doing, Tanner was already on the phone with Dr. Lee Bird, scheduling meetings to talk about changes he wanted to see on campus through RHA. Through his leadership in the RHA Senate, he established relationships with all the senators, continuously pushing them to bring forth new legislation and start new initiatives. In Senate, he was loved, with the final Senate of last semester being officially proclaimed “Tanner Appreciation Day” by the senators.

To many, including me, Tanner was a role model and mentor. He took many under his wing to make them better people and guide them. The work he did for others never stopped at the reach of the titles he held — he always went above and beyond for those in his life.

In the RHA team, we all looked up to him in some way. If you know nothing about RHA, it’s like a family, and Tanner was the glue that kept us all together. He was a peacemaker, a builder of people and relationships.

He was always the friend in our team someone would go to when they just needed someone to talk to. He wasn’t afraid to share his opinion or say when you were wrong but was always kind.

He had many visions for

the future. We constantly talked about our plans of change for the program and our own goals in life. One of my favorite memories is laying on a dock on a clear night with Tanner and another friend, just talking about life — our goals, relationships, life plans — anything and everything.

We all told each other that night we’d go back there to do it again sometime.

Tanner’s legacy is not the bills he passed.

It’s not the speeches he’s given and certainly not any committee he’s sat on.

His legacy is what he left with the people he knew.

More than anyone I’ve ever met, Tanner cared, and truly cared, about all those he knew and those he didn’t.

Every day, Tanner strived to make campus a warmer and more welcoming place, both through his personal interactions and his role in the Residence Hall Association.

To me and many others, he succeeded in that goal through his presence alone.

Tanner was the person we all tell ourselves we strive to be, except he was real and out there, being that person.

His legacy doesn’t end here — it grows within those he reached in his short time.

He was a friend to all and will be greatly missed.
