TAYLOR ROBBINS Obituary

TAYLOR ADDISON ROBBINS, 20, passed away on Monday, April 3, 2023, at St. Mary's Medical Center in W. Palm Beach, Fla., surrounded by her family. She was born on Nov. 8, 2002 in Fort Wayne, Ind. Taylor graduated from Homestead High School and aspired to enter the mental health field specifically working with children and adolescents. She was blessed with a servants heart, pouring herself into those seeking a friendly face, so attentive and always the sympathetic listener. Her smile was genuine and beautiful and like the moon, she loved so much, brought light into the darkness. "Be like the moon in someone's sky and show them the way of life with your loving light." Taylor became the way of life for so many, she was an organ and tissue donor. Taylor's final act of kindness was to give the gift of life. "Taylor is forever a Hero." Taylor is survived by her parents, Darrenn and Amy (Heckber) Dray of Fort Wayne; brother, Noah Robbins of Suffolk, Va.; grandparents, Larry and Michelle Heckber of Ossian, Jon and Delana Dray of Fort Wayne; great-grandmother, Ora Saylor of Fort Wayne; and her fur baby, Mason. Memorial service is noon Saturday, April 22, 2023, at Sonrise Church, 10125 Illinois Road, Fort Wayne, with visitation prior to from 10 a.m. to noon. In lieu of flowers, Taylor would hope that donor's would do an unexpected act of kindness in her name.

My 8 year old son Zachary and I are playing around Taylor´s bench at the Y park. Today the bench is a grille for preparing the sharks we´ve caught. It´s a beautiful day.

Taylor was an enormous inspiration for me and still is. She is a huge motivation for me to keep moving and to spread the good word. She helped me find my higher power which is Jesus Christ.
