Kenneth Taylor, 59, passed away peacefully at his home on July 14, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on October 11, 1966, Kenny lived a life defined by kindness, laughter, and unwavering devotion to those he loved.

Kenny had a remarkable gift for making people smile. A natural jokester with a quick wit and an infectious sense of humor, he could brighten even the hardest days with a laugh. His generous heart always put others before himself, and he never hesitated to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He loved deeply, gave selflessly, and leaves behind countless memories that will continue to bring smiles to those who knew him.

He was an avid fan of horror movies and proudly rocked out to the music of KISS and Ozzy Osbourne. Kenny also had a special place in his heart for his cat Jake, whose companionship brought him great comfort and joy throughout his life.

Above all else, Kenny treasured his family. He shared 28 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Wendy, whose love and companionship were the foundation of his life. Together they built a family filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.

Kenny is lovingly remembered by his devoted wife, Wendy Taylor; his children, James "JR" Pearson, Elizabeth Walter (Isaac), Whitney Cassell (Dakota), and Kimberly Taylor; his cherished grandchildren, Braylon Roller, Khloe Cassell, Liam Cassell, and Lain Cassell; his brother, Mike Taylor (Donna); his sister, Suzanne Whitaker (Greg); and his beloved nieces, Holly Grant (David), Nicki Leidolf (Branden), and Brittany Ketterman (Aaron), along with many extended family members and dear friends who will forever hold him close in their hearts.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Kenneth Leland Taylor and Mary Louise Taylor, and by his beloved son, Andrew Pearson, whom he missed dearly.
