I have so many things I could say about Taylor. He was such an amazing friend, he honestly helped me get through school. We would always have competitions when it came to math, or we would sit on the laptops and play TOS together. Taylor would always leave you smiling on a bad day and if you needed something he was always there, like the time we all decided to go bowling and I forgot my socks, Taylor went and got me socks so I could go. Or the time they all convinced me to go to the movies and I forgot my wallet, he paid. I regret growing apart as we got older, but he was such an amazing person and I was lucky to call him a friend. This isn´t goodbye this is see you later friend. I´ll be waiting for that uno or just dance rematch because you somehow always beat me at everything.

Taylor is the kind of man that would always leave a smile on your face anytime you talked to him. He is extremely charismatic and helped shape me into the man I am today. I appreciate everything you've done for me after all the years of friendship we've shared and you'll always be my best friend. I love you, dude.
