Danner Lee Tedder

December 14, 1997 – May 01, 2020

Listen to this obituary

Danner Lee Tedder, 22, of Houlka departed for his eternal home of rest on May 1, 2020, after a car accident. Born in Tupelo, Mississippi on December 14, 1997, Danner was the eldest son of Christopher Scott Tedder and Mary Joy Reynolds Tedder.

Danner was a 2016 graduate of the Calhoun Academy where he was a star football player. Upon his high school graduation, Danner continued his education not only at Northwest Mississippi Community College but also Mississippi State University where he majored in history. Danner, a history buff, thoroughly enjoyed civil war reenactments. Aside from history, Danner was an avid football fan who loved cheering on the Ole Miss Rebels. Like most young men Danner enjoyed spending quality time with his closest friends. He found leisure in the serenity of the woods where he could be found deer hunting. This sweet spirited, hardworking young man will be remembered by his character and deeds to other. Danner didn’t simply pass away, he held in his soul the cure to death, a relationship with Jesus where he actively worshiped at Midway Baptist Church.

Danner leaves a loving family and circle of friends to carry his precious memory through their days; parents, Christopher Scott Tedder and Mary Joy Reynolds Tedder; two brothers, George Dean Tedder and Jackson Blue Tedder; paternal grandfather, Lee Tedder of Vardaman; paternal grandmother, Beth Nichols of Thorn; great grandparents, Dean and Mary Holder of Houston; special friend, Casey Moss of Bruce.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents; Mitzi Coleman, Doyle Reynolds, and Mug Finn.

A graveside service remembering Danner's life will take place in the Midway Cemetery in Vardaman on Sunday, May 3, 2020 at 2:00PM with Bro. Al Gaspard and Bro. Roger Reeder officiating. Preston Blue, Cal Brown, Riley Dotson, Todd Harrell, Bailey Nix, Dalton Poynor, Scott Shankkle, Forest Shoemaker, and Beau Walker will carry Danner to his final resting place.

Parker Memorial Funeral Home of Bruce and Vardaman is honored to serve the Tedder family in planning the remembrance of Danner’s life. Online condolences may be composed at parkermemorialfuneralhomes.com

The staff and Parker Memorial Funeral Home prioritize the health and well-being of our associates, family and guests.  We understand this is a fluid and serious situation that we are in today and that we are monitoring and evaluating developments of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

We and the state still believe that gathering and supporting one another at a time of loss is very important.  At this time, we are asking everyone to support a limited gathering and visitation policy.   This is a guideline of the CDC and the state board of health. We will be allowing small family groups and limited persons at visitation, funerals and gravesides until this crisis is over.

We do ask that those at risk or those not feeling well stay at home, but reach out to the family via the memorial webpage on www.parkermemorialfuneralhomes.com.  Also we are listing family addresses where you may reach out to them and send them a card or a note of encouragement in their time of loss.  Flowers and expressions of sympathy are still being accepted.

We also ask those who are attending visitation and funeral services to follow the CDC recommendations to take the usual steps to help prevent the spread of illness. Social distancing is very important in the control of the spread of this virus.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in this time we are in with the (COVID-19).  When this crisis is over we will resume our normal procedures and operation.

Prayers are with all of you, we trust that God will protect and strengthen us as we get through this crisis together.  “Faith does not mean trusting God to stop the storm, but trusting Him to strengthen us as we walk through the storm”.
