TayTay (you hated when I called you that), 
I cannot believe this has happened. You started as a regular and became a friend. Every memory I have with you,  we were laughing about something ridiculous. You made my bad days good and my good days better, and for that I am so greatful to have known you. I miss you and will forever miss you. 
Drink a cold one for me up there. 
Love, 
Taylor 

Sissie, Monte, Jerry Dale, Freddie and all,
How shocking to hear this.  My heart is broken for you! 254-396-2430 call me, Sissie? 
When you can speak again.?  I know this has turned your world upside down.  I would have been to his memorial. OMG... words can't express how deeply I feel for all of you.
I don't have your number or email address. 
marykay@windstream.net is mine.

Jerry Dale,  this life has given you more than your share of heartache and challenges.  It just seems so unfair!  God bless you, Sweetheart!

All my love and sympathy,
MaryKay

Dear Gerth and Kersh Families,

Your loss of Taylor saddens our entire Family tree.  Such a cute little boy, happy and so sweet, that grew into a handsome man who loved his family.   May you Rest In Peace, Taylor.  We shall miss you forever. 

With our heart-felt sympathy and love,
Vonda and Steve

Taylor, you were always a great friend and like a brother to me. I will never forget the good times we had together, fishing, knocking back a cold one and talking about life, or just driving around with our brothers listening to the radio and giving the girls a run for their money! I miss you dearly brother, but the good thing is I’ll see you again in Valhalla, where all real honorable men like you go to live in glory. You were a champion in life brother, this makes me miss when we were kids hanging at your dads house watching the scooby doo movie when it first came out Ahahaha.. I love you man

I give you my prayers  and condolence. God will help you through this difficult time.  If I can do anything or if you need me, please let me know.

Tater Tot, you had the brightest soul.. you could light up a room with your smile and outgoing personality. You were always the one that could make any family event or gathering fun... whether you were throwing us younger ones in the pool, tickling us until we cried from laughing so hard,  or enlightening all of us with your sense of humor. I remember emma and I always asking my dad “is Taylor coming” “is Taylor coming” “when is Taylor going to be here”. What I would give to be able to say that again. You are already missed so dearly, but your spirit will carried on forever. I love you tater tot, and i’ll see you at the end of heavens fishing pier one day...


Tater Tot , the name me and emma always called you. i remember everyday you would take me to art class. and after we’d go fishing , stand at the dock , jam out to your music & beg you to change it . or the times that you would bring me home frozen milk duds . all the times you’d come to nanny’s and try to throw me in the pool . many more memories i will never forget. i love you tatertot. always ❤️💪🏼

Taylor,
I remember the day you were born and all the times with Justin and Zack growing up together. You always had  an  easy going personality smiling all the time. Taylor you loved everyone and everyone loved you.  Always coming over to help nanny and papa on your day off from work.   You are so Loved by your nanny and Papa and will be missed every day. Kiss your mom for me. 

Nanny Tena

Taylor,
I will always remember our days together hunting and fishing. I remember your First Turkey, First Buck, First Kingfish and many more First we shared together. Now that the good Lord has called you home, I am guessing he needed someone to help with fishing and hunting chores.  Your big heart and loving smile cannot be replaced. Save me a place. When you see your mom, give her a hug from me. 

Papa Ken

I always enjoyed taking you fishing. I would tell you we would have to be home before night, because I don't drive after dark. I would have to make you get your pole out of the water so that we could go home.  I always enjoyed your hunting stories you would tell me after I gave you my 243 deer rifle.  We always enjoyed the deer meat you would bring home. I was always so proud of you and you will be missed.
Love You Always!!
Grandma

Ken & family, I am so sorry for your loss of this precious loved one. You are all in my prayers as you go through this tough journey of saying goodbye. I pray God will lift you all up in his arms and provide you strength to get through this and give you beautiful memories to last a life time.

As we paddle our boats through the seas of life, we never know when they will sink or when we will make our last cast.  I am truly blessed and honored to have paddled in your boat and made a few cast with you.  Save me seat in your new boat for when we meet again. 
Love you,
Uncle Joe

Taylor was my best friend. The person I knew that would always be there for me no matter what. He knew how to make me laugh even when I didn’t want to. He had the biggest heart out of everyone I’ve ever known. I don’t know what I’ll do without him. 

I can hear your matter of fact voice trying to explain to Floyd your reason for  changing his deer camp radio station from WBAP to hard Rock....or...Meeting us as we pull up to the gate to give us the low down of who saw what or shot something..then describing the Elusive Monster buck you saw that morning..
I can see you walking across Fulton Beach Road from the pier at Rockport with a huge fish to show us as we pulled into town....REALLY...WHO CATCHES THOSE KIND OF FISH OFF THE PIER?
I can remember how handsome you cleaned up for Ginny and Scotty's wedding as you danced with Emma Jo!! 
My heart breaks for all of us who will miss you!! Do me a big old favor Taylor?? When you get where your going see if you can find Kaitlyn and hug her big for me..sing to her one of your favorite songs..and tell your momma hi for me!!! 

It's very hard right now ,this to shall pass but never forgotten. I. Love you cuz .I pray for Gods comfort of blanket for the family
