Taylor accepted Jesus Christ as his Saviour at a young age and was baptized at Union Missionary Baptist Church in Mershon. He also attended First African Baptist Church during his teen years.
He was educated in the Pierce and Brantley County School systems and was a graduate of the Class of 1976 at Brantley County High School. Taylor was a lover of the game of football and played the position of halfback wearing No. 22 for the Herons’ football team.
Taylor had a beautiful tenor/baritone voice, his father quickly noticed the talents and gifts of his children at their young ages - and joyfully formed a group called The Taylor Family Gospel Singers with his children.
He sang along with his father and siblings for approximately 8-10 years in Georgia and the surrounding states and eventually traveled to Nashville, Tenn., to record a single with the group back in the early to mid-1970s. Taylor also used his gift of singing with the BCHS chorus where he participated in state competitions.
Taylor was an adventurer and lover of all things in nature, hunting, fishing, camping, bike riding and cooking were just a few of the things he enjoyed the most. Family was also very important to him as he enjoyed raising his blended family and loved his daughter, stepchildren and grandchildren.
Both parents, Rev. Clarence and Inez Taylor, and two beloved sisters, Teresa Y. Easton and Patricia A. Cray preceded him in death.
