Burney "BT" Taylor

BT was preceded in death by his mother, Wensel Vines Taylor, and his father, Burney Boyd Taylor Sr.

BT served in the Air Force for four years in Radio Communications, a role that reflected steady discipline and a deep sense of duty. He later retired from the Zachary Police Department as a Lieutenant, remembered with respect for a career marked by commitment, professionalism, and service to others.

In quieter moments, BT found simple, familiar comforts—spending evenings outside listening to music with a good cigar and a cold beer. He also enjoyed photography, and he especially loved working in Photoshop, his favorite app, where patience and a careful eye could turn an image into something lasting.

BT is survived by his wife, Ann Taylor; his children, Bryan Taylor (Alaina), Brad Taylor (Robin), Dale Crochet, and Nikko Hill (Chuck); his grandchildren, Lane, Kaycee, Brady, Bailey, Jacob, and Luke; his brother, Donald (Valarie); and his sister, Sarah Lee (Jim).

A Memorial Gathering will be held at Central Funeral Home, Chapel, 9995 Hooper Rd, Central, Louisiana 70818, on July 20, 2026, beginning at 10:00 am. A Memorial Service will follow at Central Funeral Home, Chapel, on July 20, 2026, beginning at 12:00 pm.
