George Taylor was one of our senior Sergeants Major in Army Retention. SGM (R) Taylor was a great man. George was a leader who established himself with great credibility in our field. To me, he was a brother, mentor, and friend. As I grew up through the ranks, George was there at every significant event. He was always ready to offer sage advice to all of us. He has and always will be someone I think of fondly and with gratitude that I had an opportunity to know him. Rest in Heaven, my brother. We Salute You!!!

To George’s family I want to extend my most heartfelt condolences. George was one of my dad’s best friends and I knew George since about 15 years old. So many wonderful memories, debates and great talks I had with George. He is loved and will be missed.

I offer sincere condolences to entire family.  George is safe in His arms.

There are very few Soldiers who impacted me as SGM (R) George Taylor and SGM (R) Jerry Pionk.  We were Best Buds from beginning to end. We had so many good times and interesting discussions of life, an Army Career and what to do afterwards.   I am certain George and Jerry are up there looking over all of us.  I was Blessed to have them in my life.

I planned to ride with George when he drove from Alexandria to Indianapolis.  I was anxious to ride, laugh and talk with him.  Our medical treatment schedules jammed us and he went ahead.  I'm sorry i was unable to have that trip with him.  

Farewell my friend.  Rest, at the end of your earthly journey.
SGM (R) John Anderson

George Taylor was my close friend and highly regarded mentor.  He taught me everything I know about being an Army Integree in Hawaii.  He recognized early my passion to do things right regardless of what others thought of me...because he too had the same passion.  I became his apprentice.  His opinion of me was very important to me because he always defended me, talked me back off the ledge and educated me on the politics of this job to get it done another way.  He was the catalyst for my job upgrade.  

The day I heard of his passing I had to take a couple days off because it affected me so deeply.  I don't have anyone to trust and guide me now but I know the terrain from his mentoring now.   I loved this guy and will truly miss him deeply.   :-(

Uncle, I spent my entire life looking up to you. There will be a void in my life until we meet again. I am so grateful for the time we were able to spend together in 2019. It was important for me to make sure that my children knew what an amazing person you were. I love you because you always loved me. Thank you for your kind and gentle spirit. Rest in the Father’s arms. Your favorite niece. 
Annette Marie. 

I can't begin to express the hurt I feel from the lost of a good Soldier, competitor, and Friend...Rest in Peace my friend.


Uncle P loved sports and was an avid Pacers and Colts fan we've shared some games together in attendance.  Most of all I will cherish his nurturing spirit of being honorable, integrity, to always be there for your family.  God bless my uncle.!!!

George was a good mentor, colleague and friend.  The epitome of a "Quiet Professional."

To George’s family- I am so very sorry for your loss and praying for you all at this difficult time.  George was my coworker and friend.  He was a rock on our team that could always be counted on and was always there to listen and give advice.  He was loyal and dedicated and if you stepped out of line, George would surely counsel you:). He will be greatly missed but remembered in the highest regard.  

I worked with George in Maryland for 3 years,  he was such a good guy. One of my favorite memories is when we were all in a big meeting. Well it went over the scheduled time and GT stood up from the second row, promptly said "they don't pay me to work past 4" and walked straight out of the meeting. GT had his own style, I will miss him greatly.

Sept 24, 2016, So proud of you, Lizz.  George

I miss my friend and former boss.  Still in shock about the news.

George was a good friend and the consummate professional. He was well respected by everyone with whom he served.


My deepest condolences to the family of George Taylor.  He was the first SGM to welcome me to the INSCOM family in 1998. I was the new senior Chaplain Assistant and he was a constant support to the Chaplain’s office.  In addition, he offered me sound guidance regardless of the issue.  Words  could never express how much I truly appreciated his leadership. Our friendship stood the test of relocations and retirements and his support and generosity extended to my daughter. In 2015 she returned to  northern VA  to spread her wings, and he was very supportive during her transition. SGM (Ret) George Taylor was an outstanding person and leader with a huge heart and caring spirit.  He was a dear friend and he will truly be missed but never forgotten.  RIP.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and everyone touched by SGM George Taylor🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾                       


I'd like say that George was a joy to be around. I was Navy and he was Army, we had our conversations and laughs about that. But, most of all we talked about life and helping others. We definitely had a routine, I was in at 0400 and George was in at 0500, meeting in the cafeteria at 0600 then at 1130 for discussions about his Colts and them dreaded Cowboys. I am really at a loss for words because I talked to George "every" day unless pending circumstances prevented that, this included work/after work/weekends/holidays.  I will truly miss you "GT."  

Rest in Peace

Mr. George Taylor was a man of his word and always there for others. He did more for others than himself. He will be greatly missed by many. Take care my friend! Marcus

George,
From the time we met I knew you were special. You were always there for me to pick your brain, lift me up on a hard day, and assure me that I wasn’t  going crazy. (Manpower will do that to ya) Your jokes and your professionalism never ceased to amaze me. The world lost one of the great ones. Thank you for your service, and your friendship, RIP Battle Buddy!

This is probably my fifth attempt at trying to find the right words.  George was my godfather… But more like my father.  He lived only a 2 minute walk during my middle and high school years and there was never a time I couldn’t “pop up”.  In the 25 years I have known him, I can’t remember a time where he ever complained.  There is one word that I would use to describe him… Selfless. I am praying for God to give his loved ones peace and comfort during this time.  He has left an everlasting impact on everyone he came in contact with, and I feel I have lost a piece of my heart. I love you dearly Dad. 

Dear Taylor Family,

My most sincere condolences are sent to you during this breathe  taking home going of a true, Soldier, Sergeant Major and Friend. George was my first supervisor as a senior NonComissioned Officer and the lessons I learned from him were everlasting. I never heard that true professional raise his voice and he somehow always got his point across. My life is better because I met George and as Heaven embraces him, the fond memories shall be embedded in our hearts and minds forever. Rest well George, your mission was complete and your job was well done. I speak for the thousands of Soldiers you used your position to help and say THANK YOU! Sincerely, Gary Schoolfield Las Vegas, Nevada.

I met Sergeant Major (SGM) Taylor at Fort Belvoir and although he insisted I not, I continued to call him SGM even after his  retirement from military service. But, I did so out of the abundant respect I had for him. I admired how much he loved Soldiers and people; his work ethic  was impeccable and he wanted everyone in his circle to succeed.  He was a great listener and extremely  empathetic.  SGM was loyal, devoted, trustworthy…but most of all, he was a dear friend who left an indelible mark on my heart and in the lives of my family and friends. May the Lord be with your family during this time of mourning and celebration of a life well-lived! Well done…Rest in Heaven, Sergeant Major.   Isaiah 6:8

It is fitting that the family post a picture of George in his Army Dress Blues uniform because for as long as I knew him, he was a soldier.  His motto was "Army Strong" which he would say to me quite often.  I first met George while we were stationed at Fort Campbell.  I got to know him very well over the past 35 years and found him to be loving, caring, funny and a person that would not hesitate to come to the rescue if needed.  Rest in Peace, my best friend and as you promised, you will always be a part of my life.  To the Taylor Family, I pray you can find joy where there is sorrow.

I knew George when stationed at Ft. Campbell KY. He was a very kind, loving man. I worked for his wife and looked forward to seeing all the beautiful flowers and gifts he would shower her with at work. Thank you George for introducing me to a man after your own heart.❤️  Praying for your family 🌹🙏🏽

George was a part of the Wilson and Thomas family of Woodbridge and Alexandria, VA. We loved him dearly, spent holidays, graduations, birthdays and all other festive celebrations as family.  He was always available to give a helping hand and did so lovingly with a smile. 
He will be missed, however the memories will forever remain in  our hearts. 
Much love & RIP, 
Tena, Shaina, Rachel, Aunt Judy and Michelle
