IN MEMORY OF YOUR WONDERFUL DAD
It all began with family
And ended with a legacy
He didn't have much to give you
In the way of worldly goods
Yet, he left behind a treasure
He hoped you understood
With a shake of his hand
And a look in his eye
His word stood for something
No man could deny
The lessons that he taught you
Should you need a second look
Are stored in your hearts
You won't find them in a book
So stand up for what you believe in
And fight for what is right
Keep your word and your promises
and what's important clearly in sight
Follow your heart, but remember
to be thoughtful of your mind
Because your intuition will warn you
when things are out of line
But most of all remember
How much you meant to him
And the light of your father's memory
will never flicker dim...

I first met Merle about 8 years ago in Helena, MT. We were both driving for Watkins-Shepard and needed work done on our tractors, so we were stuck at the terminal for the weekend. We started talking in the Driver's Lounge early that Saturday afternoon and went all the way to 1 AM or so, with BBQ and beer to see us through. That's the way it was with Merle. He was such a pleasant guy that when you started talking with him the time just flew. Experienced, wise and friendly - I felt I could share anything with him. And we did, almost every day for the next 4 years while we were on the road, getting together whenever we crossed paths out there. When I got off the road to start another business, there was less of the day-to-day sharing, but through it all I regarded Merle as my best friend. I imagined us getting together and having fun for many years to come, so I know the sorrow that everyone feels right now at not having him here. My deepest sympathies to Jon and Ben and all of Merle's family and friends who will miss him dearly in the times to come. John Sweet

Condolences to the Renner family at Merle's passing. I worked with Merle for 10 years at UNC Medical Illustration from 1995 to 2005. Merle was a great co-worker, but mostly a great friend, who always shot straight with everybody and was very adept at making others feeling at ease by breaking the tension with a quip or a sarcastic one liner.
He absolutely loved his family. That was obvious by how much he talked about them and spent time with them.
I still use funny phrases every day that I got from Merle... not to mention "Merle-stories" about our times at UNC and his time working out west and in Alaska. (He always liked to check the temperature in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska every day... just to see how cold it was there.)
He'll be missed, but he's certainly left an indelible mark, for the better, with everyone that knew him.

Merle Renner was a great friend of mine back in the Wall days, circa 1980. I think I may have even introduced him to Marie Ann. When that summer ended Merle, I and Marie Anne drove to Denver in my little car packed with all my belongings so that if you were not driving, Marie Anne was sitting in your lap. Merle was a great soul, a good friend and always had me in stitches. I am sad he is gone. Best wishes and prayers to Merle and the whole Renner family. Pat Hustead

Merle's family;
Sending prayers from South Dakota. Merle was a classmate and good friend growing up in the wall area, Grace and Kenny were very close friends with my parents Merle and Verle Crown and we as kids spent a lot of time together, great memories. I often to this day speak of Merle and his gift of football a determined player could always hand the ball off to Merle in yardage needed and usually had a positive outcome. Thinking of the whole Renner family at this time. A friend of Merle and the Renner family. Alvin and Donna Crown, rest in piece my "Fullback" buddy

So sorry to hear about Merle. Jonathon may remember living across the hall from us in Anchorage. Merle and I ran together quite a bit in our roughneck days, rode Harleys together. I also remember his first dog Brooke, a black lab mix and she had like 8 or 10 puppies in the back of Merle's van when it was also his main residence. He was an amazing person who did more living his life than most people would in several. Rest in peace my good friend.

This picture was from a family birthday. Merle and Brookie had spent many weekends with us at the house. We really enjoyed having Merle as a friend and a honorary member of our family. Merle was a great support to our son Roy, encouraging him to reach the rank of Eagle Scout and to excel in school. We will always love and miss Merle.
