NICK TAYLOR Obituary

Nick Taylor Amazing Husband & Daddy Nick was born on October 30, 1975 and passed away on March 7, 2011 after a strong, brave and very tough battle against Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at the age of 35 with his wife, family and friends surrounding him.

They married in 1997 and had their first child, Lindsey, and then Luke. Nick was the most amazing husband, and such a wonderful daddy. He made such great friends while working many years at Coca-Cola and was a member of the Teamsters Local 313. He had a real love for the outdoors, fishing, hunting, skiing, camping, boating and watching the Seahawks! He is survived by his wife Susan, daughter Lindsey, son Luke, parents Cheryl and Al Prante, friends and in-laws Joe and Sally Varley, brother James, grandad Virgil Anglin, uncle Bruce Norton, uncle Jim and aunt Barb Prante, and many other special aunts and uncles, cousin and best friends Brian and Ally Harvey, Matt Meadows, Julie and Shane Stacy, and a special friend, Pastor Mary, as well as many other amazing cousins and so many awesome friends! Preceded in death by grandma Joyce Anglin and best friend Justin Meyer. Nick, Suzie and the family would like to give special thanks to Shara, Amber and The Girls, Dr. Stout, and the nurses and staff on the 4th floor at Good Sam Hospital. Services will be held TODAY , Saturday, 3/12/2011, at Sumner Presbyterian Church, 1915 Washington St., Sumner, WA, at 3:00pm, with a potluck to follow.

The world is less of a place for having lost such a beautiful soul. I only met him briefly during his brief stay at Tacoma General but Nick, Suzie, Lindsey, and Luke touched my heart. I will forever be thankful for the opportunity given to me to care for Nick and to meet his family. My prayers are with you.
