Taylor Shane Ketchum

Taylor was dichotomous in many ways, he was vibrant and youthful but had what some might call an "old soul," he was quiet yet a courageous conversationalist, opinionated yet open-minded, and he was creative and kind. I was lucky to have him as a student and a friend. May he go lightly and freely on the next adventure.

Taylor,

Thank you so much for everything. I got to know you this summer at Camp and you seriously changed everyones lives. Whether or not people got to know you personally, you brightened everyones' days just with your contagious smile and rad vibe. The kids at camp all loved you and couldn't have asked for a better counselor and role model. You will forever live on at Camp Orkila.

Taylor was an amazing young man who blessed the lives of over 100 young children this summer, ours included. He was gentle, kind, musical and funny. He will never be forgotten and we hope that you take great comfort in the fact that he died doing something he loved as a servant leader in the most beautiful place on earth. Prayers to your entire family and all of Taylor's friends. May you be surrounded with peace and support during this difficult time and sustained by your memories of this...

Taylor will be missed by so many here. He will never be gone in our hearts and memories. What an incredibly amazing and wonderful young man. May the Lord keep him close and his family find comfort in all the love they have for Taylor and the memories as a family they hold dear. God Bless all of you, Joe, Leslie, Josh and Mary
Love, Beth & Gary Walen

Dear Joe and family... I am so sorry for the loss of your son Taylor. My deepest condolences to you during this difficult time. Raymond Gee, Lam Research

I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers will be with his family at this sad time.

Taylor, You were so special to so many. Now you are with another special person, Grandpa Pat Tennies.

Taylor was a unique and wonderful young man that the world needs more of. Such a shame to lose him so young as his passing makes no sense to those whose hearts he touched. I was honored and proud to call him my grandson, words cannot begin to describe his many wonderful qualities. Our hearts are forever broken with his passing. Love you Tay. Gram Sarah
