Surrounded by his loving daughters, and his faithful dog, Toby, Gregory Gene Taylor, 59, passed away peacefully at home in Lacey, Washington, on March 17, 2011, after a courageous battle with colon cancer.
Born on July 21, 1951 in Salt Lake City to Gene L. and Gwen R. Taylor, Greg attended East High School and Wasatch Academy. Greg loved music and cooking. He was an accomplished guitarist, he excelled at water skiing, and enjoyed watching NASCAR races. For many years, Greg worked in the family business at The Table Supply Store in Salt Lake City, UT.
He loved and cared for his two Maltese dogs, Lily and Toby.
He was very proud of and will be sorely missed by his three daughters, April (Geoff) Graham, Julia (Chris) Ward, Candice Taylor and his granddaughter Hannah. Greg will also be missed by his caring former wife, Marjorie Taylor; his father, Gene L. Taylor; his sisters, "Deb" Taylor Miller and Lisa (Majed) Anani; as well as his good friend, Paul Mears.

Dear Greg! You always wanted me to talk politics to you and you were interested in what is going around the country and around the world. Well, my brother, today let's not talk politics, and allow me to say: I love you and I will miss you. Rest in Peace. May God Bless Your Soul.

Dear Gene, Sorry about the death of your son. My sister Marian saw the obituary in the Tribune, but I did not see it in the Deseret News. However I found it on the Tribute site. I see WinnAnn your sister at the 10th East Center occasionally dancing. I hope you are doing well. Kathryn MacKay Jones.
