Well Dee, God works in mysterious ways.
Tay's passing was the water to nourish that previously planted seed in (Vincenzo) his grandfather's heart. Thus compelling him to finally contact his daughter after over 43 yrs of total silence.  For the next 8 yrs they visited & chatted  everyday til his passing Oct 2023.

Never in a lifetime could i have fathom that I would be sitting here on this Saturday morning on the 13th of November 2021 staring at this photo below  of your memorial  online.
I'm totally perplexed.  I often wonder just where is your spirit...I know it's in the house with me. because sometimes u dart across the hall. I can't wait.
Oh...whadda thing of this world right now, especially the USA. 😪
 yeah...sad. - Always & Forever, Dad


Hi Son,
Today would've been your 32nd birthday.  You are always in my thoughts and prayers. my love for you is unwaivering.
When the Angels come for me I'll be ready, Can wait for our spirits to reunite.
Because my strongest loves have left this world. You, mom, Scarlet & Nikko.
ALWAYS AND FOREVER
DAD


Laying here all these years later and it still feels like a part of me is missing. You were really my best friend. Before you came into my life I prayed for A you and god blessed me with you all those years. Just wishing I had more time. 
I know your watching over me.. I changed my name to CarLee in memory of you. In the process of doing great things. 
 Missing you Forever & Always

HELLO SON,
Your Spirit evidently must have visited me last night because I dreamed you and Carlesha was hanging out with me, but as I looked closer she wasn't Carlesha...she was light complexion with a beautiful ponytail. Then you & I was on stage performing, i was singing at the mic and you were the drummer. We were having such a wonderful time. I awoke this morning feeling great...and I still feel good.  I get your visiting me last night...you don't want me to feel miserable. 
 I'm good..."I love ya!"  - DAD
😇🙏🏽😇🙏🏽😇🙏🏽😇🙏🏽😇🙏🏽😇

Six years later and my memories of us are still strong. I’m wishing it was you I was reminiscing with. You are deeply missed: Words can’t explain how much I appreciate all the years we had together. I’ve realized  most  of my happiest moments of my life were with you. I Miss you soooo much..  

Hi Tay,
"HAPPY 31st BIRTHDAY TO YOU SON. It wont be much longer before I'll hold you again.
I'm so, so tired of today's world &
I'm ready when he summons me to join you.
Everybody's always speaking your name to your mother and I,
and your buddy AJ whos still next-door...son he literally cries about the void you left in his heart. He's adopted us as his parents 
If you only knew how gifted & special you were while you were on this earth...I constantly wrestle with "Could I have been a better Dad to you."
Before I go I want you to know,
we know you & Scarlet's spirit is in the house because of Nikko.
Every evening after his dinner he goes in the Office (your old bedroom) and mourns a painful howl. 
I love you so so unbelievably much...💔it's almost 3:am; I gotta get some sleep. I'll meet ya in the Office🤎 .
Please communicate with me like you do Nikko.
- Dad Always & Forever

R.I.P my playstation  brother  may God rest your soul 

Happy Birthday Love!Happy Birthday!
I have decided not to cry this year but to smile for all of our good times we had. Man did we have some real good times! Four years later and I still miss you as much as I did the first day you left.  I miss that smile and all your jokes and that voice singing to me. I love you Forever and Always . 

Happy birthday Tay.
Rip Nov. 12, 2018
You are missed.

Taylor, it is your birthday. I know you don't read this but it is a way to process thoughts, the thoughts are sadness, sadness that you are deeply missed. Your parents hearts are broken and this will never make sense or stop hurting. I have no words that console, no great quotes or good sayings that can ease pain. Even saying you are in a better place is trite and not helpful because we'd rather have you here. For many birthdays and many landmarks that were supposed to be witnessed.RIP Tay, peace is yours.
Dee and Kase and Kass Kee

Good Morning to my beloved
"Chip-off-the-old-block!"
"Today's the 28th of March."
But based on my thoughts & prayers. 
It's no different than yesterday, the day before...last week.. last month...last year...etc.
"Talking about being on my mind son!"... 
WOW!!!... "ALL THE TIME!"
"All last night, night before...and nights of tomorrow!"
"But You know it"...I don't have to tell you that"
You literally breathe & live through me every GOD Given day.
Your Legacy & positive impact you made on people
continues through me.

"Always & forever Taylor!"
   Dad

Taylor. It seems to get harder. Such deep pain. I  don't know how your parents can get through this. The grief is unexplainable. You are every where and no where. What a loss.

TAYLOR GOT EM. YOU'RE STILL IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS BROTHER. TO THE FAMILY, MAY GOD BLESS.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAY!"
This morning you would have been 27 years on this earth.
At this stage of my life with reference to all the turmoil going on here. I wish more to joining you on the other side than wishing for your return. 
As my love for you echoes from every star in the Heavenly sky, may Peace remain eternal with you my son. 
- Broken Hearted Dad -

Think about you all the time, I need you right now. I love you cous

RIP Taylor aka taylorgotem. Didn't know you personally but met you through your streams, incredibly cool person who just oozed charisma. Always looked like were having fun and just enjoying your life. My condolences to the family and all friends.

To Eddie and Carla,

I believe that there is nothing, that anyone, can say or do to console a parent. My wish for you is that the Lord will restore the kind of peace in your hearts of still waters that run deep, in the memories of your son. 

Sincerely.
Patricia

~Mr. Owens thank you for sharing your gift  with me the Lord wants you to know he is still in control, and my pray for you is that the Love and Peace of God would in graft your heart and all of Taylor's family, friends and loved ones who  actually had the blessed opportunity to have & know such a gift. What a honor the Lord gave him to you my sincere condolences~

Continued condolences to Taylors family and friends. He was a charismatic youth, Swag king, trendsetter, fly guy. Taylor Got em, you still a boss bwoy. Rest my lad.

Thank you Mr.Toeman for your condolences. If you like Jonathan, contact us at the below email & we will send you a DVD copy of Taylor's 
Legacy. budad2011@gmail.com.

Man I am so sorry to hear about this I was a very good friend of Taylor's through ustream I haven't even streamed since what happened to Taylor if i can ask I send my condolences very deeply to family and friends

It has been one year since you left us. Not a day, not an hour,  not a minute, not a second passes that we don't think of you. Miss you. Love you.

My Tay Tay, I miss you so much, this has been the worst year of my life.  I selfishly desire that you never left us.  Dad and I are keeping your page open forever.  So many people loved you, we need a venue to express our feelings and emotions.  I miss your love.....

Greetings my Heavenly Son,
It's around 5:AM Saturday morning. I haven't really slept.
I've just been laying here thinking...this time last year you were about 3 hours away from leaving me and going home to the Lord. 
I know it was March 28th., but the last Saturday in March will always be etched in my soul.
"If only!.. If only!.. "Lord.., if only I knew!" 
I could not have interfered with the Lord's Will, but I could've held prayers of intercession in those last few hours, I would've poured every ounce of my Being Heart into you.
A couple of weeks ago when you visited me in the park on that beautiful & bright sunny afternoon in my dream...it was (at the highest order of) wonderful. 
I listened and took heed to every heavenly word you said to me.
I told your mom about it and we're on it.
You would be proud of us...well, the earthly you.
Excuse my mind, it's early still. "I know you (are) proud. 
I've grown a lot in a year. Especially to understanding the ways of the Lord.
That saying, "Seek and you shall fine." How true.
Initially, when you left...I found it unbearable to exist without you.
Realizing he wasn't letting you come back, I sought the Lord for the (WHY!) 
Now having a better understanding of his ways I have found peace.
I love you forever & ever. 
Scarlet just came in...Im in the office. I'm going back to bed now...
Niko & Scarlet miss you something fierce.  - DAD

Dee kee, I just read your message. It has touched my heart very deeply. Thank you for your love, devotion and understanding of our son Taylor, whom you knew since he was a little boy - Taylor's Dad

Almost a year,how can that be?
I found out in November and have asked God a lot of questions.
God's word says he will use a difficult situation for good.Romans 8:28 and I just can't find the good.
Maybe the good was for Taylor,he is happy and free but we are not.
I know that choosing God vs. not is better.
I want to make sense of it and I can't.
I am sorry, so very sorry.
I believe the solution for this pain is only the rapture.:)
I know that God watched his son suffer and die but Jesus died for all of us.
Taylor will continue to touch people with his legacy,his teachings,his words he said to people.
Eddie,Carla and Brandon, my heart is broken for you.
Cling to each other,embrace each other's pain.
Love each other. You are together but separate in this intense pain.
I love you.
Dee

Blessings to the family and friends of Taylor Got em.

RIP Taylor God bless you and your family.

I remember you always being uplifting.  Laughing.  Or your beautiful wife dancing. Or you jumping in my chat just to ask how my day was.  I didn't know.  But i do now for sure.  My heart hurts for her.  I don't know another person like you.  I will miss those moments of your life that you allowed us to experience with you.  Rest Peacefully.

Owens family,
On behalf of the Benjamin family we are in complete shock and awe to find out about Taylor. We love you guys and are hearts hurt for you. If there's anything you need please to hesitate to call. Our thoughts, prayers, and heart are with you.

Eddie, Carla & Brandon,

Always in Him,
Darwin and Yolanda Benjamin & family  (Darlonda & Bubba )

Oh my word. I have just heard that Tay is gone. There are no words. I knew Tay as a younger guy who cracked us all up. So funny , so special and precious. I am so sad to hear this news and wondering how parents can ever get past the loss of their child. I know that they trust and love God but this is so huge . Not too big for God but too big for man. In the pics on this site Tay just got cuter and cuter. So incredibly handsome. My son Kasey and I are shocked and saddened.My heart is broken for this family.

Happy Birthday Taylor We As In UStream Miss You Bro Hope You Rest In Peace And We Never Forgotten About You #TGG 4 LyFe

The production of Taylor's DVD has afforded me countless viewing pleasures, and I've come to the conclusion; There must be a Universal Olympics or Competition going on in the LORD'S KINGDOM  and he summoned Taylor to participate.  
"Always and Forever" -Dad-

To all the Ustream fans of our son, Taylor Lee Owens; as a token of our appreciation for all of your condolences. We (his parents) would like to reach out to you. We have a free 24 min. DVD video highlighting his beautiful life. we would love for all of his followers to have one.

My heart goes out to all touched by this terrible tragedy. You will be missed by the ustream community. I watched your stream once and always looked out for it cz it was a great positive stream and it put a smile on me and my wife's face and then found out what happened. I am honored to have shared a few hours with you my friend. I will Mos Definitely be on the look out for you when I get up there.

 ( MrsKiKiBaby10)

Hi my son,
10 weeks have gone by... and every hour of those weeks I think of you. "Oh lord how I miss you!" 
I am looking forward now to meeting you on "that other shore!" I don't think you knew how much I really loved you.  -Dad-


After receiving a (10.5)Deathquake visit from the Sacramento city Chaplain concerning you.
A quiet storm of never ending aftershocks of the very thought of you constantly rages in my heart...
(for-my-ever)
Son, I tell you the truth; When our spirits meet again...the feelings had better been mutual, or I'm gonna chase you all over God's Kingdom and give you a piece of my mind.

Always & Forever loving you, 
 -Dad

R.I.P. Taylor 
My friend from ustream. You gave back anyway u could.  I remember you would help ppl on thanksgiving and give ppl a chance to play games they couldn't afford to buy through share play.

Dear Taylor. 
One day I happend to come across you streaming on ustream. At first I thought you were just a average guy but then I started watching you more and more. I realized how special and how rare people like you are. I learned alot from you. In a way I looked up to u. I would look foward to your streams, it felt like I was hanging out with my best friend. Ill never forget when you sent me a random message asking me how I was and how my family was. Nobody does that. It just shows what a humble person you are. I miss you bro. We had alot of good laughs. Rip You will never be forgotten.

You will be missed dearly and remembered by many. Your positive personality and your good nature will always be a signature of your legacy in my heart. May God Bless you in heaven. Rest in Peace Taylor. <3
