Dear Barbara and Family----You know our feelings for Brent and the void that has been left in our lives-----we will miss him in so many ways. We are having a hard time believing that he has left us----even though it is temporary the emptiness is there. Our memories of times spent together are priceless and can't be taken from us. Please know of our love for you Barbara and thank you for the many good times we have shared. Our love always and forever---Clark and Corinne

Mr. Taylor was one of my all-time favorite teachers at West. He encouraged us to think beyond what we were taught, he always made it a point for personal stories to be shared, and always made us laugh. He was a kind man who always tolerated by ridiculous teenage behavior, was a friend in and out of the classroom, and will always be remembered fondly and admirably. Farewell, Mr. T, rest in love.

Mr. T was an amazing man!!! One of the 2 best teachers I have ever had. Only to be matched by his daughter. He will be dearly remembered as long as I live. The world has lost one of it's great educators. I am proud to have had the chance to learn from him!!!!!!

I had Mr. T at West and I will never forget the trip he took us on to the State Prison! He was a great teacher! I also had Mrs. King and she was a great teacher too! Sorry for your loss.

I found direction and laid a foundation for the rest of my life while being coached by Brent on the Swim team. West was the best because of great mentors like him-- Forever greatful!

Farewell my good friend...You are missed by many people...God be with you till we meet again!

Mr. T was truly a man among men. I was blessed to have him as a mentor in student government at West, where he taught many great life principles to us young people still feeling out our way. One of which was to stand up for what was right even amidst adversity. Thanks Mr. T! And a special thanks to his family for sharing him with us for so many wonderful years. May the Lord continue to bless you all!

Dear Taylor Family,
I have very fond memories of enjoying two years in E-Board with Mr. T and the lessons that he taught all of his students have made a difference in the world.

Dear Taylor Family,

I was heartbroken to hear of Coach Taylor's passing. He was by far the greatest teacher ever! Not only was he a great teacher but he was also a good friend. I will keep you & your family in my thoughts & prayers. HUGS to all....
