Joe Dean Taylor II

June 6, 1972 – June 27, 2025

With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Joe Dean Taylor II, who departed this life unexpectedly on June 27, 2025, at the age of 53.

Joe was a man who lived boldly and loved deeply. Born on June 6, 1972, he was a devoted father to his son Joseph Dean Taylor III and daughter Aaliyah Taylor, and a proud grandfather to Jayzlee Taylor.

He is preceded in death by his loving mother Frankie Holmes, grandmother Eula Holmes, and niece Ella Thomas.

Joe leaves behind to cherish his memory: his father Joe Dean Taylor, along with a host of loving siblings, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and countless friends who were blessed to know him.

Joe had a teddy bear heart and a larger-than-life spirit. His kindness, humor, and love for family touched everyone he met. No matter where he went, he left an impression that won’t be forgotten. He was a devoted father, son, brother, uncle, and friend.

Living life to its fullest—surrounding those around him with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

“Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.”
