A 14-year veteran of the Chicago police force, dreamed of becoming an officer. The 39-year-old was a loving father of a young daughter, a man who hosted barbecues in the summer and helped shuttle a child to school when a parent worked the night shift.

Taylor was pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Hospital at 6:02 p.m. Sunday, about 12 hours after he was shot while executing a search warrant. He was the second Chicago police officer killed in the line of duty in the last three months.

The wake and visitation will be held from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday, October 2, 2008 at Blake-Lamb Funeral Home, 4727 W. 103rd St. in Oak Lawn, Illinois.

He was dressed in uniform and his coffin was surrounded by a computer-generated slide show of family pictures and flower arrangements from his family and Chicago police.

The funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, October 3, 2008 at St. Bede Roman Catholic Church, 8300 S. Kostner Ave. Interment will follow at Lincoln Cemetery, 12300 S. Kedzie Ave. in Alsip.
