Mark Allen Taylor

Mark was born in Lakeland, Florida on November 17, 1966. He trusted Christ as his Savior as a young boy at Forrest Hills Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

Shortly after he graduated from Lake Mary High School in 1985, Mark chose to dedicate his life to the family business, Big T Tire in Sanford, Florida, where he formed many lifelong friendships through the years. He sold the business in June of this year to retire.

Mark married the love of his life, Michelle Molle, on August 18, 1990 and they were married for thirty-five years. His greatest passion in life was his children, Spencer and Grace— watching and cheering for them as they played sports. He loved taking long naps with his dog Reese laying beside him. His next passions were nice clothes, nice shoes, and nice cars. He also loved pedicures and well manicured lawns.

Mark was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma in November 2021 and fought it with steady determination and a strong faith in God whatever the outcome.

Mark is survived by his wife, Michelle Taylor, son Spencer Taylor, and his wife, Kayci, and daughter Grace Taylor, and brother Randy Taylor, and his wife Kathy, as well as his brother Robert (Bobby) Taylor, and his wife Kristi; and 7 Nieces and Nephews.

He was preceded in death by his brother Tommy Roy Taylor, Jr, mother, Barbara Gail Ahlstedt Taylor, and father Tommy Roy Taylor, Sr.

The family will receive friends from 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM on Saturday, August 30, 2025 at Volusia County Baptist Church, 261 S Orange Ave, Orange City, FL 32763, followed by a celebration of life service at 2:00 PM.
