Life story

Donald Taylor, a man to remember, a man of many words, and full of action. Donalds parents are Agnes and Sylvester Taylor. Donald was able to join them on July 28, 2023. Agnes and Sylvester had 14 children. Donald was the youngest and he never let anyone forget it "I'm the baby of 14 he would always say." and by far the one who gave Agnes and Sylvester a run for their money. He was a man who loved his parents, and don’t you dare say a mean word to them or about them or you’d have hell to pay. A man who loved and protected his family and friends at all cost. Don has 3 kids, Marinda, Cody and Cierra and 6 grandkids Jaycee, Cody Jr, Kindryl, Enzo, Kingston and Katalaya. He was a very proud father and big papa. He is very well known in the local area. He was a business owner for many years, Don’s tree service. Many could tell you all sorts of stories that would make you laugh and or blow your mind. He was always the loudest and proudest in the room. If you had the pleasure of meeting him, you would either of loved him or hated him. There was not in between. But it was always best if you were on his good side.
