My heart is saddened often by a soul I never had the chance to meet. However, I believe there are vast portions of you living in my children your niece and nephew. Your nephew carries your name, and could is considered by most to be your mini twin. This is your brother's honor and tribute to his childhood best friend & partner in crime. He still hurts and misses you often!! Then, you have a niece named Kaleigh and well she is full of life as I hear you were!! They are beautiful and smart beyond our dreams. I think they've helped to some degree in the healing of your loss. They give mom & dad consistent reminders of the mischief you and your brother created as kids. I think it makes all the good memories come up to the forefront. Making it so they have no room to remember the tough times as much but to however, flood their hearts with joy!!!! Then, you have my daughter Victoria, I believe you both would have gotten along well. I think the two of you could've had fun together.
Last but not least, there is me, your sister-in-law Norma. The one who was fortunate enough to catch your brother and hold onto him. The one who was able to give your mom the grandchildren she thought she'd never have!! She has a new title of Mamaw. To give your dad a mini version of you and your brother in the form of little boy and a little girl!! He now carries the title of Pops or Poppsy-doodle. The one who is bothered more than anyone will ever understand that I never had the opportunity to meet you! The one who has no choice but to watch the heartache that sits all around myself and the babies due to the loss of you. It will soon be 13 years I can tell you, I think you come up in conversation daily. I may not physically know you but I know so much about you! I promise it's my loss just the same.
Love Always,
your sis,
Norma

To our family and friends:
Thanks to all who shared in our Remembrance Service for Ross. Had it not been for you all, the day, and days that have followed would not have been bearable.
We are not any closer to answering the haunting question of "why", but we are getting a little bit closer to finding a sense of peace with the decision that Ross made. And with you all having been here, brought us ,all of us, I think that sense of peace. Peace knowing that we were able to set his physical being free.And by doing so, has somehow given us left behind, permission to go on with our lives. Though his true being, his loving spirit left us one year ago, it was this letting go that was needed.
By NO MEANS does this mean, Ross, we've let go completely! You will continue to live in our hearts, so much LOVE for you, and in our minds, so MANY MEMORIES. By NO MEANS, Ross, were the 22 years you shared with us nearly enough, but I thank God nitely for the 22 years you did.
We love you Ross and know God has answered my prayers in that you are now by his side and have found the peace with him that you could not find here on earth, in this life.

Ross,
Not a moment goes by that I don't think of you, and I feel that you are walking beside me as I go through the day. There is so much I wish I could say to you...How I could look into your beautiful eyes and tell you that I love you so much. How I wish I could have gone to Flordia and met you. I will go to Flordia one day and meet your family that you talked so highly of. Your mom has been so nice to me..a while back she wanted to check up on me to see how I was doing...I couldn't even imagine the strength she has to do that. Wow...I never realize how much I want to say to you until I write, but most of what I have to say people wouldn't understand. No one undertood me like you did. No one could pick me up off the floor like you could. There is still a huge place in my heart that you fill. You will always be there and you'll always be missed. Well sweetheart, I guess I'd better wrap this up. I'll see you soon...Heaven isn't that far away.
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING ROSS,
Rachel
P.S. Jan if you need anything let me know..even if its just to talk... 304-208-0155

Dear ross,
the other day in school i had a teacher ask me if i could talk to one person again who would it be...it didn't take me but 2 sec. to say you. I have so many questions, and no answers. Its one of those things that i will never get. I dream about the good ol' days, and i think where you would be now in your life? There isnt a day that goes by when your name isnt mentioned or your face not seen. My friends come over all the time and ask who that attractive guy is in the frame, and of course its you. I LOVE YOU,and u may not be able to see me graduate, but i will always know that along with my uncle ralph, your holding my hand ....and always remember we are all praying! your lil cousin, lauren
*p.s. AUNT JAN, UNCLE JERRY, SCOOTER...i love you all, and be strong.

Dearest Ross,
As the one year anniversary of loosing you fast approaches,
I am still holding on to this feeling that you are out there somewhere, trying to find your way home. I catch myself peeking out the window before trying to sleep for the night, I still check your room on waking each morning.
My brain kicks in and reminds me that you will not be home, not in the physical sense anyway. But my heart refuses to let go. Your leaving us has ripped a hole in my heart, my spirit, my soul that will never be filled.
I miss you so very much.
To all your friends and family that have written in, I say thank you. It's been with your thoughts, memories and prayers that I, that we, have been able to go on.
Love you very much Rossman, miss you more.
P.S. Scooter found an orphaned puppy and named him after you, "Tank"!! He seems to fit your nickname!

today i came across the conversation i had with scooter, the night i found out you were gone. as i sat there and consumed the familiar words.. instead of sad this time, i got angry. we're told as 'mourners' that 'its ok to be angry...' or any of the other hundred emotions we might feel over you being gone.. and as much as i would like to complain and cry about how unfair it is that you decided you couldnt deal with your life anymore... what good is it going to do? i do, however, believe we are all entitled to at least one (or 5) good vent. i'm sure by now that some of the people you left behind have had theirs.. and maybe even some of them are starting to come to terms with you being gone...
well, ross.. i accept the fact that you arent physically here anymore but this entire situation still doesnt make sense to me... as i know, it probably never will. there isnt a day that has gone by that i havent thought about you at least once and i pray this is a habit that continues for the rest of my days.
i wont use this space to divulge my many conflicting emotions. instead, i'll take this moment to extend my sincerest empathy to all those who are still here.....without you.

This is "Baby Ashley" as Ross called me. I loved the poem my uncle Jerry wrote and i wanted to say something about it. I can't belive it's been seven months either. Are family has had to deal with a very big loss and there isn't one day that goes by that me or my family doesn't think about Ross. I think about Ross everyday and dream about him all the time. Ross is missed very much and i just wanted Uncle jerry, Aunt Jan, and scooter to know you are not alone in this and you will always have your family. I love ya'll very much.
Love always, Ashley

Seven months, ten days and nine hours ago, Ross decided for reasons we will never know to end his own life. I miss him sooo... much. As time goes on and the healing continues, more and more I think of him. Often wondering where he would be if he were still around us.
I saw a quote on the www.afsp.org website that I think is very appropriate for me to quote and I think it will say it all.
"One learns to live with the loss,
the tragedy, the waste, and the gaping
hole in the fabric of one’s life.
There is no closure, nor would I want one.
I want to remember him all my life, vividly:
his laughter, the smell of his sneakers under his bed,
his moments of joy, his humility, and his integrity."
I miss him.
Love Dad

To the Taylor family,
I am so sorry to hear the loss of your loved one “Ross”. I had known Ross for about a year before he passed away and I can honestly say he was a very awesome individual. Ross was a very ambitious, smart, caring, funny, hard working, and goal oriented individual that loved his family very much. I can remember many conversations Ross and I had about how hard he was working to make good grades in school even when he would get discouraged I would tell him you have to work hard and he always did exactly that to make the best grades he could. He was also always busy cooking up a storm. His memories stay strong but his presence is missed very much so among many. I have to agree with everyone’s entry that stated he had an amazing smile; it that shined from the inside out and could light up a room. I will personally miss not having a friend like Ross around and wish the best for your family.

just a little update chicken little, a reminder that I love you. I look at your picture every night before I go to bed and I still get that chill that you are there. I know you are. I miss you so much. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Your my "Chicken Little". In fact, Mama and I were talking about that the other day. You are so missed and so loved. Please tell some people up there I said hello and I love them. You know who they are. I will talk to you soon.

Hay Chicken Little! I love you so much. I think about you everyday and I miss you everyday. I want to hear your laugh again. I want to feel your hugs again. I really really want to hear you call me your little princess again. But I guess that is what they have memories for. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I look through my pictures and I see you there, as if that day had just re-appeared. The day I first met you. The way I felt when we first kissed. The day I knew that I would love you for the rest of my life. We had our ups and downs. And the next up I will have will be you and I together again up in heaven. I will talk to you soon.
Mama Jan and Dad,
I love you and I am here when you need a familiar face and warm hug.
Love always,

Well, it wasn't until tonight (December 8th) that I came across Ross's picture in his friend Priss' profile. Under a picture of a fimiliar face read "R.I.P." It wasn't until a few moment after trying to figure it out, that I remembered where I had known this young man from. I had hung out with him a few times over the summer. Although I didn't know Ross very well, I can definatly see why everybody was and is so fond of him. Just an exceptionally bright personality and sense of humor. I am so sorry for those of those close to Ross. He is in heaven shining down on us now...God Bless you ross. My condolensces to the Taylor family.

Dear Jerry, Jan, Scooter, Jerry & Carol and Family,
We send our thoughts and prayers to all of you. Uncle Virgil met Ross, but I had never had the pleasure. All of us cousins are so scattered. But, there is something about family that is the tie that binds, and I feel like I know him as he is remembered in this book. I do remember his father quite well and Ross sounds like he had the same winning ways. Speaking of family ties, Aunt Ada Mae Jeremiah went to heaven one year ago on October 17, 2003. May you all find peace and comfort through Jesus Christ who will be your strength through the season and days ahead.
Love and Prayers,
Uncle Virgil Jeremiah, Cousins Richard, Bonnie (Jeremiah) and Lindsay Weitkamp

To the Taylor Family,
I never expected to be saying goodbye to a friend, and a classmate so soon. Ross was a great person. He always made me smile.. and always let me know he was there if i needed him. I know he will be watching over each and every one of us. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Ross, I will never forget your smile, and all the intense conversations we had. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of need.

Even though I did not have the chance to meet you, you touched my life in so many ways. You were with me through some very hard times, and just hearing your voice made it better. I will always thank you for that. I hope you knew that I loved you more than words could express. I will be with you one day, and I know that your in Heaven looking down on us. Someday it will be Ross and Rachel again. Thank you for just being in my life. I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!
To his family: I am so sorry for your loss. God took one of the best guys the world has ever known. He walks with the Lord now. My prayers are with you all. God Bless.

Thank you all for your kindness and support to us during this terrible tragedy in our family. Without you we would be... alone. I have prayed more than I thought anyone could, these past couple of weeks. I know God is blessing us all during this time because I can feel the LOVE. Our Ross has gone, but our lives must go on. I miss him soooo... much. Thank you all. We love you.

Ross was one of those cousins who I didn't get to see that much, cause of where we both lived, but everytime I did get to see him he made it the most memorable times. With his constant laughter, his award-winning smile, and his "looks" that took him longer than me!I swear that kid looked in every mirror he could! Ross loved being in the middle of families little get togethers. He would tell some jokes..quite bad jokes(haha)..and sit and hang out always in the center of things. He didn't ask for much, but he made the best out of everything. The great times that I remember with ross are when mema would make us thes HUGE pallets on the floor were we all would hang out and watch some t.v.; and then aunt jan,scooter, and uncle jerry and ross made one of those videotapes of, "I heard it through the grapevine," GREAT TIMES! Ross you will be missed by everyone that you ever came in contact with, you lit up everyroom, and made an impact of my life! I love you! Aunt Jan,Uncle Jerry and Scotter...you all in my prayers!

I Will never forget the first time I met Ross. I was like you look like Michael Jay "Fox." Through the years Ross was like a very close family friend. He was always the life of the party! Being the most positive guy I've ever met and being able to tell my problems to him. His spirit will always be rememberd and live on through his family and friends. Ross's purpose in life was to touch and make people laugh and feel at ease. I will always think of the good times and so will many others. WE Love you Ross and God Bless. =)

My dearest, sweetest, "Ross,Rossiebug,Rossman,Ross the Boss,Tank, and the occassional Justin Ross Taylor", I never thought I'd be writing to you this way. Don't worry, son, I won't go on and on, I just want to say a few things.
I want to say that two of the very happiest days of my life were the day I found out I was going to have you and the day you were born and placed in my arms. Though your first name is Justin, those few days in the hospital, looking down at you and calling you by that name, just didn't seem to fit. You were ROSS! It fit you! It had that firm,confident,I can do anything sound to it. Which is exactly what you turned out to be.
Firm..yet so compassionate. Your love for people and animals is unbelievable. Confident..Sure of and comfortable with yourself. You could walk in a room and people took notice. Do Anything.. set your mind to it and by gosh you would get it done. Like cleaning the kitchen when your girlfriend was coming over. I can't clean a kitchen like you!! Getting your diploma, going to culinary school.
There is so much more, but I told you I wouldn't go on and on. You have the most beautiful smile I have ever seen and will see your smiling face when I blink my eyes.
You brought me such joy, and heck, sometimes grief, but what kid and parent don't experience that. We always worked through the tough parts.
The day you were born there was an ache in my stomach, but nothing compared to the ache I feel now. The first ache left me empty but holding you, my precious son,kissing your tiny hands and face. This ache leaves me empty and missing you so very much,never to kiss your hands or face again.
It's comforting to read what all your friends have to say, knowing they too, were touched by you in a special way. Knowing they saw the same great qualities and extraordinary person you are. Knowing that they, too, loved you.(and they ALL loved your smile :)
You are most precious to me and will always be. I love you and I miss you,son,so much it hurts.

When I first met Ross when we took the school bus to Glenridge all those years ago, I knew he had an amazing energy that was extremely contagious. He always knew how to make me laugh and taught me so much about life and friendships. The thing I admired about Ross the most was how in any situation he would carry on a conversation with anyone who came his way. ~Ross thanks so much for so many awesome times that I will never forget, I love you! Jan, Jerry, and Scoot I love y'all so much too and my prayers are forever you guys!!!!

I did not have the opportunity to meet my 4th cousin, Ross, but heard good words about him last year at his grandpa, Jerry Taylor's 70th birthday party.
Two days ago, we had a funeral/burial for my
daughter's baby born months too soon. We have experienced God's help!
My family and I wish you the healing that God can give when we experience sorrow such as yours.

I knew Ross as a young boy. He lived across the street and my son played with him and his brother. I remember how funny he was. He could always make me laugh. Jan, Jerry and Scooter, I just want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with your family and that we are so sorry to hear about your loss.

Just having moved to Orlando 3 months ago, Ross quickly befriended me as a teammated of mine at Smokey Bones. Whenever I pulled into work, sometimes having a bad day, I was instantly cheered up by the sight of Ross' car, knowing my day at work would be a good one. Ross always made me feel loved with his hugs and continuous compliments and words of encouragement. He was such a cool guy and was always there to talk to. My latest memory of Ross is of us two having fun dancing to the music at work and I am comforted by the fact that he gave me a hug goodbye. I will forever miss his toothpick accented smile, warm hugs, and words that always filled me with happiness and made my day. Everyone misses your smiling face! You will be in my thoughts and my heart always. Thank you and I Love You, Jamie

My name is Desiree and I worked with Ross at Smokey Bones. I only knew him for a short time but in that short time we became close and I saw what a great person Ross was. He always made me smile when I was having a terrible day and made me feel special with all the compliments he would give me. When we went to lunch one day he told me about all his goals and aspirations and about him going to culinary school,and I just thought that was so great. I wish I could have spent more time with him. Ross has left a footprint in my heart and never will be forgotten! My prayers and thoughts go out to Ross's Family and Friends. He was a wonderful,Loving, and compationate person! I will never forget him! Love you Ross, take care up there!
