I´m heartbroken for Taylor´s family and can´t imagine how much you will miss that lovely, funny fellow. I looked forward to every interaction with him because I knew I would laugh the entire time. What a sweet heart and Patty, I still remember how he smiled when he talked about you. Sending hugs.

I worked with Taylor many years ago at NWE, he was breath of fresh air tha only he could have provided at the SOCC. As a young professional he was always willing to jump in where ever he was needed, including rearranging the office furniture at times. I looked forward to the times I would work with Taylor. Rest in peace my friend.

I can't believe my high school best friend has passed. It feels like we were just kids not that long ago. I will always remember the great memories with Taylor and his family and how we met and bonded over guitar and bass. My condolences Patty, Merle, Melissa, and Michaela. I am so sorry for your loss.

I worked with Taylor at NorthWestern Energy. Taylor worked in the System Operations Control Center (SOCC) and I worked in Generation. Shortly after we started the generating plant at Mill Creek, Taylor sent a graph showing we were meeting or exceeding his expectations. His note said: "Dusty - Hugs and Kisses from the SOCCs...Taylor Olson". That really meant a lot to me, and I still have his note hanging in my office at home. Taylor was a great person and will truly be missed.

As a teacher of 26 years, I've had a lot of great students, but Taylor was one of my favorites. Once I got hired at Northwestern energy, we talked a few times and reminisced about all his shenanigans at WHS! Prayers to his family.

Taylor was such a joy to work with. I´ll never forget how he once saved my finger during a DIY project at his house and the laughs we shared after. My heartfelt condolences to you, Patty, and his family.
