Amy, my prayers are with you and your family. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your son.
….we first met Taylor when we moved into our first house in Texas, the same weekend that his family moved into their house, right across the street…my boys and Taylor and Courtney, became best buds..they would go to Six Flags, Hurricane Harbor, or to the Deer Lease that Taylors dad, Chris had…He was always the sweetest, most polite little boy that I had ever met..I am so very sad that he is no longer with us, to continue to fulfill the dreams he had for himself, and his family…I know how proud his family was, that he was finally coming into his own and taking control of his life and his future…we will always remember and love you, Taylor…<3
Taylor was the best brother i could ever ask for and he was the person i looked up to. its weird thinking hes gone because i feel like hes not i feel like hes just staying at a friends house and its killing me even thinking that my brother is not here.

I love ya man and will miss you lots and will cherish the years of memories. I will never understand why…only God knows and he must have needed someone very special….you were very special to me and to everyone that knew you. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Love Bobby & Carrie Montgomery
So very sorry to the family for your sudden loss. I only met Taylor once playing dominos. He was handsome, very funny and made me laugh. You are all in my prayers.
We’ve been neighbors for about a year, and I can’t think of a single time that I’ve spoken to Taylor and not seen that awesome smile. What a truly nice young man in a world where nice is underrated. I am so sorry for your loss; please know that we are thinking of you.
