Taylor was born in St. Mark’s Hospital October 13, 1994, in Salt Lake City, Utah to Jerry and Michelle (Chappell) Adcox. Taylor grew up in Salt Lake City and graduated from Skyline High School in 2013, where he played football for Skyline Ute Conference League and went by the nickname ‘Caveman.’ His favorite class was Animation at the Granite Technical Institution, where he made many lifelong friends.
In 2014, Taylor started working for Cinemark at Century 16 SLC, where he quickly moved up into management. The theater was soon a second home to Taylor, and his co-workers became a part of his family. It was here that Taylor found the love of his life, Zara. They were married at ‘This Is The Place Heritage Park’ on June 8, 2018, four years after they met.
Taylor’s big heart, compulsive need to make everyone happy, and ever-present concern for the well-being of others made him dear to those around him. He was best known for his bad jokes, rib-cracking bear hugs, and contagious smile. He touched so many lives during his short stay on earth and will be missed beyond compare.
Taylor is survived by his wife Zara (Pearson) Adcox; his parents Michelle & Jerry Adcox; his younger sister Alexis Adcox; in-laws Leander & Diana Pearson; Grandfather Dennis Adcox; and many brothers and sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. He was preceded in death by his grandparents Ione & Bill Stewart, Marilyn Adcox, and George Chappell.
