Taylor was a close family friend. We are deeply saddened and heartbroken by his sudden passing. When I think of Taylor, I can honestly say that we knew his kindness, his sense of humor, his many talents, his constant positive attitude, his love for his daughter his family and his friends. Taylor was the kind of person that was genuinely caring of others, he took the time to truly be a real friend. People like Taylor don't come along often and he will be fondly thought of and deeply missed and I am so blessed to have known him as a friend.
