I will always remember conversations with him on the phone. They always. Always. Had more laughing than with most people. He was getting his passport processed to come see us in Mexico after the first of the year. He would have appreciated many things here that would remind him of Maui.

RIP Chip.

Having known him since he was 12 years old & having witnessed his highest highs & lowest lows he was always "Chip!" Kai li & the Johnson # 1 were likely number one and two but there were lots of memorable moments with Chip. We'll miss that laugh and irrepressible energy...rest in peace my friend.

Chip was a beloved PHS classmate and a sweet friend. He will be missed by many. He and my husband were on the PHS golf team together so I'm sure they are playing a round in heaven. God bless you all. Cindy Presnell Gindorf, Katy, Tx

Chip was quite a character ! He made an impression on me in the short time I knew him. He lit up the room with his sunny disposition and uproarious laughter. He told funny stories and made everyone in the room feel important and special. The world will not be the same without outgoing, colorful Chip.

My prayers are with the entire Taylor family , and especially my dear friend Kimberly , chips sister.

We send our payers and condolences to the family of Chip. We will miss him dearly, he was a super guy and a joy to talk too. My family and I have good memories of Chip. He would always ask my son how he did at his tournaments and tell him to keep up the good work. Chip enjoyed watching junior golfers like my son playing the great game of golf.
