An incredible son, brother, grandson, uncle, and friend, Austin enjoyed playing video games, fishing, and spending time with his family and friends. He had a big heart and was always willing to lend a hand to anyone who needed it. He will be missed by all who had the honor of knowing him.
Austin is survived by his father, Jeremy Taylor (Jessica Chase); his mother, Jennifer Lynn (Brad Tarplee); siblings, Hannah Dunford (Isaiah), Madison Tarplee, Logan Davis, and Mason Chase; paternal grandparents, Buddy and Anita Taylor; maternal grandmother, Brenda Perry; aunt, Jamie Coombs (Benji); nephew, Nolan Dunford; many cousins; and his service dog, Hershey, whom he dearly loved.
The family will receive friends from 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at Cotten Funeral Home. The service will begin at 11 a.m. in the funeral home chapel. He will be laid to rest at New Bern Memorial Cemetery.
Austin's favorite color was pink and in honor of him, we encourage his friends and family to wear pink to his service.
Arrangements are in the care of Cotten Funeral Home & Crematory.
