Ronald Taylor

Coach Taylor was a great teacher, coach, FCA leader and friend. He was always looking out for his students and players. He made a big impression on me and others that knew him. He will be missed. My deepest sympathy to his family. Know that "coach" is always with you!

Sandy and Family,

Thank you for sharing Ron's wonderful life with so many. I still regard him as the kindest and best men I have ever known. He is and was one of the biggest inspirations in my life. He affected and helped so many. He is the ultimate Husband/Father/Teacher/Coach. My sincere and deepest sympathy for his passing. He is waiting for you in Heaven where he ALWAYS encouraged everyone to "give em Heaven".

Love,
Blair Philbrick

Ron Taylor was one of the best (if not the best) teachers I had at Putnam City North in OKC. Very friendly, very demanding, very humble... just a plethora of different yet great qualities! I had him for Trigonometry in the 10th grade. He knew his stuff. Not a bad football coach either! I will miss him. He made a lasting impression on me and I'm thankful for it...

Cousin Ron was an inspiration to all who met and knew him. I remember how big and strong he was and yet what a gentle kind person he was.
My Dad owned a locker plant in Ashton Nebraska. On a trip through the flatlands one summer, Ron almost single handed replaced a huge Amonia Compressor Motor for my dad. He was a mountain of strength in so many ways.

The world is poorer today and heaven is...

Sandi and family, Ron was a special man with a way of making each of us feel special as well. I coached with Ron at Holdenville, OK & Clyde, TX, and I truly loved and respected the man and the life he lived to the fullest. I can still hear that big 'booming' laugh that always made me laugh with him. Thank you God for giving us Ron and the legacy of serving that he lived. In Christ.

I first met Ron when I joined the First Baptist Church 6 years ago. I have never met a person with such an outlook on life and a love for the Lord. He inspired everyone he ever met. The Tuesday night studies was such a blessing because Ron made you think and get into the word. I really miss him telling me you goofy old guy. Our thoughts are with the family.

Dear Sandi and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Coach Taylor's passing. He was an amazing coach/teacher whom I have never forgotten. Just this past summer I asked Coach Johnston about him when I saw him at a basketball tournament in Albany. He was such an inspiration to me at Clyde High School, and I know our football guys were better people and better players because of him. He encouraged me and taught me in so many ways. One of my fondest memories is of him playing basketball with us...

Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, Sandy, Erick & Mindy. Our family was so saddened to hear of Ron's passing. He truly was a remarkable man who reflected the love of Christ wherever he was. We will always remember the times of fellowship we had with him at church, at your home and the homes of others. We remember his sweet smile and his encouragements. Though we all will miss him, we rejoice that he has and is seeing HIM face to face. We love you all!
