Our Awesome Taylor is in heaven now as a guardian angel to his best friend and Brother Tony; He is free from pain from a month long struggle with heart failure. Most remember him as a fun loving, kind hearted, smiling, respectful, courteous, friendly, helpful, loving to tease, AWESOME young man.
His favorite things to do was hang out with his brother, they would play video games, strategic cards and of course go to Chipotle for the biggest burritos they could order. He loved the history channel and reading and was like an encyclopedia of history facts. He was excited this year to have Chinese as one of his classes. Taylor was very intelligent and an Honor Roll Student and difficult classes excited him for a challenge. He played sports, Basketball in MI and two years of football for the Urbana Hawks. This past summer he volunteered at the Earth and Space Science Center in Frederick. He came home excited that he was able to teach little kids about horseshoe crabs. He has a softness in his heart for small children and animals. He adored his two puppies and was always playing with them. He loved catching frogs, turtles and fish along Hamburg Lake where his family lived. He would catch a full bucket of fish for the Great Blue Heron and loved to watch it swoop down for dinner. Cousins visiting and playing were like the ultimate candy for him. He and Cousin, Holly, shared a love for Anime together. Taylors daycare was very close to Mom’s work, Auntie Laura and Uncle Steve raised him in such a Christian and active daycare. His Mom went to visit him during her lunch hours. Taylor went to Northville Christian School and loved the closeness and absorbed the love for Jesus in every pore of his body. Our hearts are broken Jesus took him up to heaven to be with his Grandpa “Pappa” Grandma “Sue” and meet Grandma Barbara. We are so blessed he was our son because he was truly Awesome.
