Taylor held a deep love for music and found joy in playing the guitar and singing at church. Above all, he treasured the time spent with his family, especially his children and grandchildren.

Taylor was preceded in death by his parents, three sisters, two brothers, two grandchildren, and two great-grandbabies. He is survived by his beloved wife, Sandra Pinkerton of Shannon Hills, Arkansas; his daughters, Tanya Barnes of Shannon Hills, Arkansas, Jennifer (Jim) Glass of Rosston, Arkansas, Keni (David) Ezell of West Monroe, Louisiana, and Tracie (Ryan) Colvert of Benton, Arkansas; one sister, Faye Stone of Houston, Mississippi; 14 grandchildren; two great-grandsons; two great-granddaughters on the way; along with a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.
