Christian "Taylor" Johnson

He graduated class of 2014 from Collierville High School. He was an avid sports fan. His greatest passion was football. His senior year, he was selected for Tennessee East vs West All-Star Game playing for the West. He also loved spending time with his family and friends, whether it was riding four wheelers with his brother Jason, playing cards, or playing video games with his brother Alex. Taylor was a sweet soul who would give the shirt off his back to help someone. He always called himself a "gentle giant" or a "big teddy bear". He will be greatly missed by so many.

Taylor was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Dudley Cockrum and Grier Hitchcock, and great grandmothers, Georgia Clevenger, Emily Heggood and a great grandfather, Hugh Heggood. He is survived by his parents, PJ and Debbie Johnson; two brothers, Jason Irvin (Kristen) and Alex Johnson; his grandmothers, Evelyn Cockrum and Jean Hitchcock; a nephew, Braden Irvin; two nieces, Ella and Ava Irvin; three aunts, Vickie Harris (David), Connie Benton (Mike), and Jeannie Hindman.
