My favorite memory of Taylor is when he convinced me to hop on the skate board with him down a parking garage.Lets just say we had a tumbling fun time lol. My First memory of Taylor Is his bright smile that lit up the room. Special memory I had with him was sitting at the top of the Farris wheel and looking over the city. Taylor taught me how to be confident.l and he always challenged me to be my best self. He taught me how to be open minded and enjoy and explore life. He taught me strength and resiliency.He taught me how to go in a room and capture everyone´s attention by being myself. Thank you R.I.P

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.

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!"

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

March 28, 2016

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.....

March 26, 2016

Eddie Owens

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

March 20, 2016

Dee kee

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

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.

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.

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

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.
