I got to know Taylor over the past year and truly it was one of the years best years of my life, he taught me so much and held the most wholesome conversations, from the late night rides, sharing his taste in music, honestly was the best hugger!!! He was my everything at one point in my life, he helped me when I was at my lowest and never gave up on me. My heart goes out to his family and friends. He will always have a special place in my heart for sure.

I got to know Taylor during his years in confirmation classes at Holy Savior. I will always remember is heart-felt, impromptu speech during his confirmation service. Everyone in attendance was moved by his confession of faith, his sincerely love for others and wisdom beyond his tender years. In that moment, we all saw the beauty that was in his heart and it was impactful. I am so deeply saddened by his loss. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Peace.

Taylor is my eldest nephew and I had plenty of good times with him. We laughed, we hugged it out, I watched him grow! I can remember the time I went to his apartment and we chatted for hours. Just being close to him and learning more about his world is something that I will cherish for a lifetime. He called me often and we would chat about various things I will remember the laughs and the good times. You will be missed nephew and I will forever hold you in my heart! I love you and know you are in Heaven singing with the angels.

I had the honor of being able to coach him both his freshman and sophomore years in highschool. Taylor always had great energy, effort and passion on the court. No matter what I knew he would give everything he had to help his teammates out. So very sorry to the family on this loss.
