He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  He enjoyed camping, fishing, “stationary floating,” and playing video games. He was witty, had a great sense of humor and enjoyed teasing those he cared about. Taylor loved spending time with his family, especially his nieces and nephews.
