Richard Leroy Taylor

Born on April 15, 1963, in Franklin, Pennsylvania, Richard dedicated his life to both service and personal passions. He proudly served in the United States Coast Guard from 1984 to 2004 as an Electronics Technician, demonstrating commitment and expertise throughout his two decades of service.

Beyond his military career, he worked as a ProCyte technician at IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. Richard found joy in a variety of interests. He was an avid reader who appreciated the power of stories, a skilled photographer with an eye for capturing meaningful moments, and a passionate musician who enjoyed playing the guitar. He also had a love for video games as a source of entertainment and challenge.

Richard is survived by his beloved wife, Teddi Taylor and dog Buster; his sisters, Wendy Taylor and Pollyanna Anderson; his brother-in-law, Lee Anderson; and his nephew, Ethan Anderson. He was predeceased by his parents, Donna and Richard Taylor.

Richard’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. May his legacy bring comfort to all who mourn his passing. Run free my friend.

Per his wishes, there will be no service.
