I met Taylor when he first came back to the QC in 2018. We hung out a lot there for a bit until our lives got busy. If you knew Taylor you knew about his love for Nike Shoes . He started with an empty apartment and within a month he had 3-4 pair of Nikes. I tried to explain that saving money for bills was probably a better option. He didn't care. We were recently talking about his collection and the value of it. I tried to tell him to start selling them to help with bills. He gasped in shock and said, No, I can't do that! He came into my office to visit a lot after he got his motorcycle. Taylor was always out riding it because he loved it so much. He loved visiting state parks. Friday 09/08/23 he was in the office telling me and his agent, Marty, he had put almost 11,000 miles on it since he bought it in April. Taylor was so proud of his accomplishments and I was so happy to hear about them. I was also so happy he found his girl Char. From the way he made it sound, she needed him just as much as he needed her . Taylor was such a kind, caring and loving man. I was blessed to have known him.
