Kenneth Allen Taylor

Kenneth Allen Taylor (October 12, 1944 - July 27, 2022) of Las Vegas, NV. He was born in Jacksonville, Florida, to Frank V. Taylor and Virginia E. (Cummings) Taylor. As a naval officer's child living in Florida, Norfolk, VA, Millington, Tennessee, San Diego, and San Jose. Out of school, Kenneth joined the Air Force and served the country. Ken loved to make people laugh/smile. He loved his music and did a skit for Mr. Custard in his late teens. Through the years, Ken was often re-doing the rendition. In addition to being a black belt in judo, he trained soldiers in defensive tactics. Ken maintained an appreciation of all things Navy and Air Force. He was very proud to have served his country, often reminiscing about his military days as a child and an adult.

Ken is preceded in death by his father, mother, and youngest sister Martha. He is survived by his current wife, Bridget C. Taylor. In the past, Ken married Dora Van Hall Taylor of San Jose, CA, the mother of his daughters, and his daughters Gwendolyn (husband Colin) Drain of Pleasanton, CA, Christine Taylor (Jorge Hernandez) of Paso Robles, CA, Caden and Addison Drain, Duncan and Ashlyn Stayduhar, and his sister Patricia Glarborg (husband David) of Albuquerque, NM, one niece, and three nephews.

A Memorial Mass in New Jersey will be held at a later date with his family and good friends to pray for his soul as part of his celebration of life.
