Michael Anthony Taylor, affectionally known as 'Mickey,' 'Monk,' 'Sneeze,' was born on May 19, 1969, in South Bend, Indiana, to Charles Raymond Taylor II and Jeanette Ava (White) Taylor. Michael attended South Bend Community Schools and received his high school
diploma.
He was loved by so many, both young and old. His sense of humor and smile will be remembered by all. There was not a stranger that Michael did not know. He loved people and had a joke for them that always brightened their day. Michael was high energy and had a unique and infectious laugh that always got other people to laugh along with him.
Michael was blessed with a large and loving extended family who were always there for him. Also, Anna Peterson his companion. Michael had a host of nephews and nieces who loved him unconditionally. One niece, amongst many, was his niece Mercedes Taylor, Dallas, Texas. Mercedes was the glue that ensured that her siblings, nephews, nieces, parents, and grandmother stayed engaged
throughout the years. Her love for Michael was incredibly unique and genuine. No matter what situations and circumstances Michael found himself in, she never let him go! There is no greater love than this.
Michael was the second of three brothers. The brothers were very close and were known as the Taylor Brothers and his sister, Tammy (James) Ellis. He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles Raymond Taylor II and Jeanette Ava (White) Taylor.
His memory will be forever cherished by his son Dartangian Michael Anthony Emerson Taylor, Atlanta, Georgia, two brothers, Charles (Sonya) Taylor, Lithonia, Georgia, and Lamont Taylor (fiancé Virginia) Mishawaka, Indiana, his grandmother, Della White, South Bend, Indiana, and a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and friends.
