Mark Taylor Obituary

Mark Stephen Taylor passed away on Sunday, December 12, 2021 at the age of 61. He was born in Covington, LA on July 28, 1960 to Herbert Edward Taylor and Aline King Taylor. Mark is survived by his wife, Angela Ingalls Taylor; daughters, Rachel Aline Taylor, Amanda Bergeon Akins (Drew), Rebecca Taylor Gravois (Ronnie) and Madisyn Brooke Taylor; and siblings, Lola Taylor Beckham (Philip) and Charles Edward Taylor (Henry). Mark is preceded in death by his parents. Mark graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Government. He then received his Master's of Public Administration at Louisiana State University. He also received his J.D. from the Loyola School of Law in 1988. Mark was extremely proud of this accomplishment and the work he did as an attorney for 25 years. Mark was very passionate about his current position as the Managing Director-Head of Claims at Fidelis Claims. Mark enjoyed hunting, cooking, fishing and golfing. But his #1 interest was spending time with his family. To everyone he met, Mark made them feel like he was their best friend. Mark's perfect day would be boiling crawfish with his special recipe, and drinking a Miller Lite with his family and friends. His smiling eyes could light up a room. Mark knew no stranger. Mark's love for his family was unmatched. Mark adored his wife, Angie. If you knew him well, you knew his favorite saying was 'That's my wife right there'.

Fielding Funeral Home, 2260 W. 21st Avenue, Covington, LA 70433 on Saturday, December 18, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. with visitation from 9:00 a.m. until service time. Private burial will follow the service.

As a transplant from St. Louis to New Orleans, Mark honed my skills in UHL&S claims handling and schooled me in how to find the perfect po´boy!
He spoke often and lovingly of his wife and daughters. He will truly be missed. Sadly, I am just learning of Mark´s passing, so I missed the opportunity to pay my respects in person. My sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones.

Having worked with Mark for a short time, I observed he had the ability to bring out the best in people. He treated people with dignity, and compassion, while holding them accountable. His character and integrity reflected a man of deep faith. He was fully capable in knowledge of the law and insurance. While I will miss his physical presence,
I know I have gained another person in the "cloud of witnesses" (Heb 12:1) cheering me on in my journey to keep my focus on Christ.

One of the first attorneys I had the pleasure of working with over 33 years ago. Such a true country gentleman. Knowing Mark as I did, as soon as he passed through the pearly white gates, he took the first right, pulled up a bar stool and had a cold Miller Lite beer with our other good friend Kevin Cole. Miss you good buddy.

I was so sorry to hear about one of my dearest law school buddies. Mark was such a good friend and companion through such a challenging time in our lives. I always cherished spending time with him on our yearly fishing trips after law school. His great attitude, unconditional friendship and infectious smile will always be remembered and deeply missed. To Angie and family, please accept my sincerest condolences.

Seems like just yesterday that I interviewed Mark at Southeastern LA University. We recently connected again on Linkedin, but sorry we did not get a chance to actually speak. I do remember how much he loved his family. My condolences to all.
