Travis Taylor, age 21 of Pittsfield Township gained his angel wings too soon on Friday, September 23, 2016 at his home.
Travis is survived by his loving parents, Bruce and Deborah Taylor and brother Joseph Taylor of Pittsfield Township, sisters Jennifer Dornbush of Quincy MI, and Michelle Wilkinson of Scottsdale AZ.
He is also survived by several aunts and uncles: Brian Taylor of Ypsilanti, Cheryl (Mark Dale) Taylor of Ann Arbor, Denise (Pat) VandenBosch of Paradise Valley AZ, Diane McMillan of Reno NV, and Douglas (Barbara) McMillan of Chandler AZ; and several cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Awaiting Travis in heaven were grandparents Edson and Mildred Taylor, and Harold and Elaine McMillan.
Travis was well liked by friends far too numerous to count. He was a 2013 graduate of Ann Arbor Skyline High School who enjoyed bowling. video games, camping, Michigan football, eating his Dad's homemade venison chili, playing basketball and spending time with his friends. He was a dedicated store manager for Subway on the west side of Ann Arbor, where he was known by co-workers and other managers for his enthusiasm and leadership skills. Travis will be deeply missed by all that were fortunate enough to know him.
Visitation will be at the Muehlig Funeral Chapel, 430 S. Fourth Ave., Ann Arbor MI 48104 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Wednesday, September 28. A memorial service will take place at 1:00 PM that day. The family respectfully requests that, in lieu of flowers, contributions be made in Travis' memory to the Adolescent Substance Abuse Program at the Home of New Vision, 3115 Professional Drive, Ann Arbor MI 48104 (www.homeofnewvision.org).

I I was a frequent customer at the Subway your son managed. I always appreciated his professional and courteous service. He handled the store very well from my point of view. My wife and I were out of town until recently so I was bit behind reading my newspapers. I was shock to learn about the loss of your son. May God welcome him to the joys of his kingdom.

To Bruce and Deb, So sorry to hear that Travis has passed away. He was a genuinely kind and caring soul. He was a wonderful team member of Skyline Bowling team and I really enjoyed watching him and his team mates have so much fun together. He was always so kind with Eric (with down syndrome) too. Always stopping to give Eric a high five! It was a privilege for me to have known him and your family.
Our love to you and your family.

Travis was one of the first people I met my freshman year at Skyline. He was such a kind, genuine person who was friendly to everyone he crossed paths with. He was always able to brighten someone's day with his demeanor and sense of humor. He will be missed.

Went to high school with Travis and he was such a goofball. Funny, calm, chill dude. We would mess around skateboarding back then. Talked to him sometimes when I would see him at subway since I worked right next door, despite being a busy day and working a lot he didn't seem to bicker and complain about it. You will be missed down here on Earth, Rest easy and until next time brother. You won't be forgotten.

I'm deeply saddened. Travis and I worked together at Kroger several years back. He always offered this laid back energy that was calm and friendly. Even on the busy and hectic days, he had a smile on his face and working with him seemed to make those busy days a little better. We all liked Travis very much.
I'm so sorry. May this great young man rest in peace.
