Born March 27, 1950, in Kane, he was a son of Bob & Vicky Taylor. He grew up in a home surrounded by nature, with his three siblings and plenty of wildlife keeping him company.
He married the love of his life, Linda (Hetrick) Taylor in 1972 and spent his early adult life as a renowned electrician, working at the Box Factory, Pennzoil, PGE, and ARG.
We knew him as a kind, hardworking, and loving father, grandfather, brother, and friend. We knew him as the unofficial “Mayor” of Lafayette, as a long-standing member of his “Breakfast Club,” and as the family videographer. He loved to travel and sight-see. He was the king of snacks and board games. He was Mr. Fix It, a storyteller like no other, the father of three ducklings, and the one person who you could count on being outdoors, working sunrise to sunset.
John’s memory will be lovingly held in the heart of all those who knew him best, carried forever among the countless friends and family who he left an unforgettable impact on.
