On November 17th at 7:31 a.m., Dad stepped into eternity to meet his Lord. He lived his life for God and was eager to meet him. While he was here he never met a stranger and was always ready to study the Bible with anyone he met. He was truly concerned with the souls of others. He is greatly loved and will be sorely missed until we see him again. We’ll be there in a little while, Pop; watch for us.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Ollie Mae Taft and Doil Earlene Taft; sister, Marie Earlene Jones; and grandparents, Jimmie and Dollie Taft and Edward and Izuma Sanford.
He is survived by his wife, Shelby Taft; sons, Jake Taft (Rose) and Joe Taft; grandchildren, Makenzie Taft, Brodie Taft, Cainan Taft, Ollie Taft, and Ian Taft; brothers, Milton Taft and Jimmie Taft; sister, Gayla Watt and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Sixth Avenue Church of Christ for the Gulf Coast Hurricane Fund.
Honorary Pallbearers will be Ollie Taft and Ian Taft. Pallbearers will be Joe Taft, Jake Taft, Brodie Taft, Cainan Taft, Curt Taft, Randy Jones, Richard Watt, and Jeff Jones.
