Taylor Scott Boone

Taylor Scott Boone, age 72, died on Wednesday, September 15, 2021, in San Antonio. Taylor was hospitalized for urgent surgeries that led to him becoming immunocompromised. Despite being fully vaccinated, he tested positive for Covid-19, and died from complications of Covid-19. He was born on December 27, 1948, in Houston, Texas, to Joyce Taylor and Berrill Harrison Boone. Taylor received the BBA degree from The University of Texas at Austin, the J.D. degree from St. Mary’s University School of Law, and the M. Div. degree from Perkins School of Theology at SMU. He was a respected estate planning attorney, having earned board certification in this specialty; he was also a member of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel. In 2008, Taylor was ordained a Deacon in the United Methodist Church. He served at Travis Park Church where his ministry focused on serving the unhoused, the poor, the marginalized, the lost and the least through Corazon Ministries. After his retirement from active ministry, Taylor served the United Methodist Church on the District and Conference levels.

Taylor served on the boards of numerous organizations including the local chapter of the American Diabetes Association, Hospice San Antonio, Interfaith Alliance, and Clarity Child Guidance Center.

Taylor’s greatest legacy is Methodist Healthcare Ministries and Methodist Healthcare System. By all accounts, he was the chief architect of the partnership that created these entities – the founding father of the Methodist Healthcare family in South Texas. He was justifiably proud of this achievement.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Stephen C. Boone. Taylor is survived by his wife, Alison Wenger Boone; daughters, Catherine de Marigny and her husband William, Virginia Hewlett and her husband Alex; four grandsons, Taylor de Marigny, Andrew de Marigny, James de Marigny, and Brodie Hewlett; his sisters-in-law, Susan Pate, Valerie Wenger, and Charlotte Wenger; his parents-in-law, Barbara and Paul C. Wenger, Jr.; and numerous nieces and nephews.
