Troy Taylor Obituary

TAYLOR, TROY, 41, of Pembroke Pines. Our dearly beloved Troy was taken from us suddenly on April 21, 2007. After embarking on a fishing trip with friends, their plane crashed east of Ft. Lauderdale and all aboard were lost. Troy is survived by his beloved wife Betty, mother Susan, father Fred, stepson Christopher, stepdaughter Heather, sisters Jennifer and Christina and his beautiful boxers, Chivas and Splash, who he considered as his faithful companions. Troy had many friends who love him and will surely miss him. He is remembered for his passion for fishing and for being a true Miami Dolphin fan. He was admired in many ways and everyone who had the pleasure of meeting him knows he was an exceptional person and friend. Troy's life will be celebrated and memorialized on Friday, April 27, 2007 from 6 pm to 10 pm at the Bernardo Garcia Funeral Home Kendall Chapel. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that any donations go to the charity of your choice in his name to forever keep his memory alive. Bernardo Garcia Funeral Homes 12050 SW 117th Ave. Kendall 305-232-1010 http://www.bernardogarcia.com To visit this Guest Book Online, go to www.MiamiHerald.com/obituaries.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. This year you popped into my head more than ever. I think it might have been the fact that i had more time to think, being locked down for so long. Troy we will love you and miss you always.

Hello Troy,
Thirteen years later and you are still missed, there are not many days that go by without a thought of you. I came across a picture of you when we went out on Mike Chidos boot and you fell asleep sitting up. This little bird came and landed on your shoulder and rested for quite a while. I took a picture of it and showed you when you woke up. You laughed like crazy and couldn't believe it. Miss you still Troy.

Hi Troy,
It's funny how you have been in two of my dreams lately and then this memorial pops up in my email. I was just telling Elfa about the dreams and this reminder of you came up. Troy I think about you often and miss you alot. When I sit and have my Chivas I often have one for you. It's a shame that you were taken from us so young. My prayers are always with you. And my love goes out to Susan (your mom)
Miss you much,
Steve

Happy Valentine day Troy! Oh how I miss you!!! So many memories are in my thoughts as these years seem to fly by. April 21, 2007 was and still is the worst day of my life. Reading the comments in this Guest Book shows you were loved by so many. I'm going to have in printed. Still waiting for a "what's up" or "what are you doing" phone call. I miss all the caring things you did for me and the list is long. You were installing a DVD player for me on you last visit. After a big hug, I can still see you driving off in your big truck, drinking a soda and will keep it in my heart and memory forever. Love You, Mom

2018 Hi Troy, its your Mom missing you more than ever. I miss everything about you, your smile, laugh, and your phone calls. I can't let you go, my house is full of your pictures, I see you all the time. I visit with Betty and Heather and they tell me funny stories about you and how you made them laugh. I will always remember my last visit with you as you came over to install the new DVD you gave me for my birthday. I still see you driving off sipping your drink as you moved down the road. I'm so happy we had one last hug that day. You will always be in my memory. Love you, Mother.

Oh my dearest Troy,

I was driving home the day before your birthday. The forecast was there would be torrential storms, but guess what, the brightest rainbow lit up the sky and I knew it was you. That was one of your redeeming qualities...you lit up a room, but most importantly my life. Not a moment goes by that i don't think of you. I will forever love you and I hope God will reunite us as you are forever my husband, my love and my best friend. I miss you every day All my love, Your wife, Betty (Monkey) as you called me

Dear Aunt Susan,
I find it hard to believe that it has been six years since the terrible plane crash that took Troy. I recall that awful day you got the news. We were left with such deep sadness and unanswered questions. I am so sorry that your only son was taken from you, his family, & his friends. You have been such a devoted Mother and I am sure that Troy feels your love in heaven!! You have always amazed me with your inner strength and I hope that this same strength will help you to find profound peace. I am here for you to lean on...God knows you have been there for me!! God knows you have been there for everyone in your life - reaching out with your kind and loving heart!!!
Love you, April

Dear son, it has been six years since the terrible accident that took you from me. My heart still aches to see you walk in the door with your pups following behind you. As time goes bye, I miss your more than words can say. Your birthday is coming up and I think of the good times and how handsome you were. I miss our days and the days spent with Betty, Heather, and Christopher. You were so much apart of their life. Can you believe that Heather is going to have your name tattooed on her shoulder. She says she never wants to forget you. That shows how much she loved you. You will always be remembered and never forgotten. Happy Birthday! Love and miss you forever, Mom

Dear Susie

I used to work with you at Southern Bell (Bellsouth). I have been thinking of you since I heard the tragic news and saw your pain on TV. I can't imagine how you must feel, but I know how much you love your son. I was out of town for Troy's funeral service or I would have been there. Despite the years that have passed since we worked together, I have thought of you often over the years and you have my most sincere sympathy. I know this has to be the most difficult thing you have ever endured and I hope and pray that in time your loving memories will outweigh the pain and you will find peace. I know he died knowing how much he meant to you and his father. My thoughts continue to be with you............Chris Maness Summers
