Taylor Ledyard Obituary
Taylor Johnson Ledyard, 35, of Stevensville, passed away unexpectedly, April 12, 2025.
A celebration of life gathering will be planned and announced at a later date. Arrangements are entrusted to Starks & Menchinger Chapel in St. Joseph. Those wishing to sign Taylor's memory book online may do so at www.starks-menchinger.com.
Taylor was born Feb. 27, 1990, in Cincinnati, Ohio to Kenneth and Christy Jo Ledyard. He attended high school in St. Peters, Mo. Taylor had a deep love of music. He was an accomplished musician who played the guitar, drums and keyboard and also loved to sing. Taylor was very creative with composing and creating music as a founding member of the band, Something Heroic. He was also known for his comedic talent and always making everyone feel loved and acknowledged. Taylor was working toward a life-long dream of becoming a pilot as he was enrolled in flight school. Taylor is now flying high with the angels and melting faces.
Taylor is survived by his siblings: Michelle (Bradley) Bonnette of Trinidad, Colo., Stacy Brink of Stevensville, Adam (Marie Renee) Ledyard of Seattle, Wash., and Anna Calkins of Mishawaka, Ind.; his niece Ronnie Haase and nephew Devyn Davis; and a host of friends too numerous to mention. He was preceded in death by his parents Ken and Christy Jo Ledyard.

My heart is with everyone who knows Taylor because we're all so insanely blessed to know a guy like him. He was kind to the bone, sincere, musical, and funny. Taylor was A WHOLE VIBE on his own. So sorry for everyone's loss. Because Taylor was magic, is magic. He'll live on in our hearts and memories.

Hearing about your passing has completely broken my heart. You were such a kind, loving, understanding and talented soul. To say that I am jealous of the angels right now is an understatement. I'm gonna miss your mic checks. I know you, your mom, dad and Stella are all together again. Rest Easy darlin.
