Keith Sterling Taylor, of Canton, Georgia, passed away suddenly on November 9, 2025, at the age of 63. Born on September 13, 1962, in Fulton County, Georgia, Keith lived a life defined by generosity, warmth, and a genuine love for people and animals.
Keith built a distinguished career with Solutionz, Inc., a leading AV integration company, where he served as a Senior Account Manager. Known for his dedication, leadership, and remarkable talent, he earned numerous top sales awards and was widely respected throughout his company and industry. His colleagues remember him not only as a leader, but as someone who uplifted and encouraged those around him.
Outside of work, Keith found joy in creativity and connection. He loved cooking and crafting his own recipes, often sharing his culinary creations with friends and loved ones. He was also an avid flower gardener, with a special passion for camellias-a love he shared with his late mentor and dear friend, Leon Silver. His garden was a reflection of his spirit: vibrant, cared for, and always growing.
Keith had a natural gift for making people feel like family. He joyfully embraced the role of "Uncle Keith" to the children of countless friends, and he claimed the people in his life as his own. He never met a stranger; whether at a gathering, a restaurant, or even while running a simple errand, he delighted in meeting new people, sharing stories, and forming genuine connections. His kindness extended to animals as well, who were drawn to his gentle nature. Those who knew him think of him as kind, giving, uplifting, and always able to find the good in any situation.
Keith is survived by his wife of 40 years, Valorie Taylor; his son, Blake Taylor; his mother, Nannette Taylor; his brother, Randy Taylor, and wife Nilsa Taylor; and his nephews, Reef Taylor and Lander Taylor. He also leaves behind his aunt, Mary Ann Tish, and a close circle of cousins-Bonnie Boyd, Connie Concepcion, Linda Shepard, and Cheri Kellam-and their families, all of whom meant the world to him. Keith's life was further enriched by many friends who felt like family and whose lives were touched by his kindness.
He was preceded in death by his father, Ottis "Jody" Taylor, his aunt, Jeannette Cooper, and his uncle, Neal Tish, whose memories he carried with him always.
A small, intimate family service will be held. Plans for a larger celebration of Keith's life will be determined at a later date. The family welcomes emails with contact information, words of kindness, or photos you may wish to share at [email protected]. These may also be submitted through the funeral home. Please allow the family time to process and grieve their great loss.
Keith's legacy lives on in the many lives he touched-with his laughter, his generosity, his stories, and his unwavering encouragement.
