Gilbert Lee Taylor, Jr. passed away on October 22, 2025 at the age of 69 after a courageous battle with cancer. Lee was born on October 22, 1956 in Norfolk, VA.
Lee is survived by his parents, Gilbert L. Taylor, Sr. and Frances Taylor; his sister, Angela Taylor Forehand and her husband, Terry; daughter Kimberly Taylor-Mitchell and her husband, Jon; daughter, Jennifer Taylor; and grandchildren Leigha, David, Matthew and Memphis. Special mention to Rob and Laurie Fary, special friends to Lee who were always there for him and so very kind and helpful during Lee's sickness.
Lee was a good man always ready to lend a helping hand. He loved riding his Harley and cherished his bike trips with his brother-in-law and good friend, Derold Lemon. Lee will be missed. May he rest in peace.
