Darrell Lee Taylor

In Loving Memory of Darrell Lee Taylor, Sr.
Darrell was born on August 1, 1995 to Renee Burnett Taylor-Porter and Darryl Lee Jackson in Louisville, Kentucky. He gave his life to Christ at an early age at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky. Darrell a.k.a. Rell, was a son, the middle child, a big brother, father of 5 beautiful children, an uncle, nephew, cousin and friend.
When he was younger, he use to say he was going to be a rapper. He never made it that far lol but he kept on recording in the studio. His mother had ground rules in her house, play sports and make good grades. Somehow Darrell slipped through the cracks on those ground rules lol. Rell was a person who had has mind set on how he wanted things to be and he got it done if he could. His heart was made of gold and no one could fill his big shoes. He gets that from his momma. He touched the hearts of so many people and his spirit and kindness will forever be in your memories. He loved to joke around, travel, fish and ride motorcycles. He was always on the move, planning something. When he first got back home one of the things he said was that "we need to call each other more and say I love you and give more hugs."
For those who had the pleasure of knowing Darrell, all probably have a unique version of how you came across him or how you spent your time with him. We all can say that he was loving, caring, big on giving to anyone, putting his family first and always trying to stay strong. He will forever be in your hearts and memory if you keep that part with you.
