Jim was born on September 23, 1954 in Pasadena, TX to William and Anita Taylor. He graduated from Sam Houston High School in 1972, and went on to receive his Master’s of Business Administration from Houston Baptist University. He spent over 20 years working in higher education. After leaving and trying his hand at retirement, Jim found a second calling in real estate.

Jim had been a member of West Conroe Baptist Church since 1997. He was an active member in his life group, Cornerstone. He had a passion for spreading the gospel and a bold approach for asking others if they knew Jesus. He was totally unashamed of his Savior.

A come-and-go celebration of life fellowship will be held April 22nd from 4:00-6:00pm at West Conroe Baptist Chapel. There will be an out of town private burial service for family officiated by his pastor Dr. Jay Gross. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the West Conroe Baptist Church, Missions Ministry at 1855 Longmire Road, Conroe, TX 77304, 936-760-1911.
