Taylor’s childhood was filled with much happiness. He was blessed with wonderful parents who taught him the value of hard work, the importance of treating everyone with kindness, and how to enjoy life to the fullest. Taylor took the responsibility of being oldest very seriously and was a worthy example to his siblings throughout his life.
Taylor graduated from Granite High School in 1944. Two weeks later, he went on to serve in the Army Air Force of the United States during the final stages of World War ll. He served faithfully and received an honorable discharge at Fort Douglas. Taylor had a deep love for his country and understood the price of freedom.

Best of all, they enjoyed every opportunity to spend time with their family. Taylor made sure to personally express his love and gratitude to each and every family member. He could not have been more proud of his 109 descendants; we all knew we were deeply loved.
Taylor had a vibrant love for his Savior, Jesus Christ.
