Taylor was smart, witty, with an ability to make us all laugh - a young man who lived life to its fullest, just too short.  Dearest Taylor, thank you for your smile and laughter. You will be dearly missed by all your family and friends. Wet a hook, tip a cold one with your dad, and watch the Packers from the best seats in the house. We’ll join you someday "on the other side."
