Charles Taylor Trawick was the best individual in the world. He was kind to all. He was the best brother that anyone could ever ask for and he will always be with me. Taylor, we will all see you soon.

Taylor...what is there to say..Well actually there is A LOT I can say. You were such a great kid and a cute kid, even though we never really hung out, I thought of you as a friend.

I can remember when you were in 8th grade with Kristen, and she thought the world of you. I can also remember when you and Mike C. used to crack on me like there was no tomorrow. I always knew that you guys were never serious, but it was well worth it. I can also remember when you were a freshman, I was a sophmore and Margaret was a senior. I use to sit with her during lunch and just talk about YOU.

I'm going to miss you so much Taylor. You touched my life as well as many others. You and your family will always be in my prayers. I hope that you know that.

May God have mercy on you and may you R.I.P. always and eternally.

Love always,

Charles. My heart goes out to you and your family.Losing a child must be extremely devastating.I did not know your son well, but I can still remember that little redhead with the freakles and a hugh smile , coming into the comm center with his sister and mother. I beleive strongly in god and even though we don't know why god took him ,there is a reason why he did.Some people will say you must get on with your life , but take whatever time it may take to heal. May God bless you and yours.

Debbie and Family -

Debbie you were a help to our family in a time where we desperately needed it. You were

my father in-laws nurse and your

compassionate ways will never be forgotten. You made a lasting

impression on all of us. By the entries in the guestbook it appears your son inherited your beautiful caring ways. Find strength in good memories of Taylor and God Bless you and your family in this most difficult time.

This is a huge loss to our community. I knew Taylor because he played paintball with my son. Even though he was a few years older then my son, he never treated my son like a brat or a burden. In his absence, we should all try to treat others with the same southern hospitality Taylor offered up to everyone.

Taylor was a great guy. He was always good for a laugh when we hung out at lunch. Even though I had only talked with him a few times he made a lasting impression. Taylor you will always be remembered and missed.

Taylor was the greatest and was very friendly. he always had a smile on his face.We always used to joke around all the time. me and him always use to talk in classes together and talked in the hallways.Its not the same to walk into school without him there. he was such a good friend and i miss him very much i hope that he's happy where he is and that he is looking down on his friends and family. because we are all thinking about him. I'll never forget the great chats we had together. i wish this never happened,he had his whole life ahead of him.i have this years picture of him and im putting it in a frame soon that he gave to me earlier in the year and that frame will sit on my dresser at all times .I always think that he's going to come around the corner like nothing happened and talk to me but im wrong.Taylor Im always thinking about you and everyone MISSES YOU VERY MUCH WE LOVE YOU BUDDY :). I wish all the best for the family and im sorry this happened. Taylor your the best person ive ever met never forget that.i wish i could of said goodbye :( You'll always be in my prayers. :)

Charles and Deb,

I'm so sorry to hear about your son. No words will be able to express all that I'm feeling for you at this time. Know that I'm thinking of you and your family. I wish I could be there in person. If you ever need to vent to someone other than family, as the days go by - know that I'm here. Take care of one another. My prayers are with all of you.

I am very sorry to hear about Taylor's passing. I knew Taylor from Troop 36. He was just joining the troop while I was leaving, his enthusiasm made an impression on me though. He had great energy and always seemed to be smiling.

God Bless.

You know I hardly new Taylor but there was something about him that was different then anyone else, he was unique in his own way and cared alot about other ppl.This was my first year in Niskayuna and he was there to welcome me even know it was teasing me sometimes like in the media center, but i took it as a compliment.I hope one day I shall see him again and I send my love out to all his family and friends!R.I.P

Taylor was an amazing kid who had a lot to offer. I can't believe that he had to leave us like this but God has a reason for everything and hopefully he will serve out his greater purpose in a higher place. I know he would want us to all be happy for him in the sense that he has moved on to a better place. I hope all his friends and family can be there for eachother in this time, but remember to celebrate his life rather than muorn his death. We will love you for forever Taylor!

I have one great memory of Taylor and its from 9th grade. I transferred from SHS mid-year and so, of course i didn't know anyone, and everyone else already had their little cliques going. I was in math class with him and, being new, no one really approached me. Taylor was the first to smile and say hi. He made sure to talk to me every time he saw me. He never knew how much of a difference he made. He never knew how much what he did meant to me.We didn't see eachother last year, and this year he was in my math class again. I wish we had talked more. I wish I had said thank you for making me feel welcome. I wish I could tell him now.
