Frank Taylor Obituary
Frank was ornery in the best way: quick with a sharp comment, a smirk, or a fierce defense of what he believed was right. He was a loving spouse to Taylor and a proud, devoted parent to Liam, Ronan, and Esme. He lived for cooking nourishing meals, getting lost in the woods, building things with his hands, and exploring new places. He cared deeply about justice and never shied away from a good cause or a good argument.
One of his favorite reminders: "Memento mori, memento vivere." A quiet nudge to live fully, love boldly, and not take any of it for granted.
A celebration of Frank's life and legacy will be held at a later date. In the meantime, those wishing to honor him are invited to donate to Food and Shelter for Friends in Norman, Oklahoma, a cause close to his heart.

Frank was a founding member of our neighborhood organization and served as our first treasurer. He was instrumental in our organizational meeting delivering the segment on how we are not an HOA. He delivered it with conviction and clarity. My world is the poorer that I can no longer expect to run into Frank walking along the side walk or strolling with with Esme. Not only was he a dear father, husband, son and employee, he was a valued neighbor and I will miss him.
