Brian Michael Taylor

Brian Michael Taylor, 39 of Moberly, Missouri, departed this world unexpectedly at his home on January 23, 2026. Brian was born on September 14, 1986, to Linda Taylor. His life, though far too brief, was marked by warmth, love, and an enduring dedication to his family.

A graduate of Moberly High School, Brian furthered his studies at Linn Technical School, where he earned a degree in drafting in 2007. Brian moved to Moberly, Missouri, in 2018 and accepted a position in design at Orscheln Products, where he dedicated over seven years of service.

Brian’s vibrant personality was evident to all who met him. A social and active man, he was often found involved in his children’s sports and band activities, cheering them on with unwavering support. Brian was a big, loving, caring teddy bear father who cherished every moment with his children.

Brian was an avid sports enthusiast who cheered for the St. Louis Cardinals and the Denver Broncos, with a dream of seeing his beloved team reach the Super Bowl. Summers were a joy for him river rafting with his friends.

He is survived by his mother, Linda Taylor; loving children, Keagan Kirk, Kaylum Stumph, Paxten Taylor, and Brant Taylor; their mother, Alexandra Kirk; and his uncles, Bob (Sandi) Taylor and Kerry Taylor, all of Moberly, Missouri; as well as numerous cousins, relatives and friends. 

Brian was preceded in death by his grandparents, Leroy and Ruth (Polson) Taylor.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, February 5, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at Family Life Fellowship, located at 1614 US-24, Moberly, MO 65270.

Brian's legacy is one of love and adventure, a reminder to embrace each day with passion and to hold tight to those we cherish. Though he may have left us physically, his spirit will forever shine brightly in our hearts.

Arrangements are under the direction of Pathway-Millard Family Funeral Chapel, 411 Union Avenue, Moberly, MO 65270 (660)263-7284. Condolences may be left online for the family at www. pathwaymemorial. com.
