UFC.Com reports:

"A memorial for former UFC middleweight champion Evan Tanner will be held on Saturday September 27th at 2pm at the Amarillo Civic Center in Amarillo, Texas.

Evan Tanner was found dead in the southern California dessert near the Arizona border. He said in his blog on Spike.com that he was going to go treasure hunting in the dessert and also sighting "I plan on going so deep into the desert that any failure of my equipment could cost me my life,". Unfortunately it did.

Tanner called a friend’s wife on September 3rd, informing her that his Dirt-bike had run out of gas and he was going to walk to go get some. He was found 5 days later by a search Helicopter. Heat exposure was the suspected cause of death.
