On June 15, 2006, our beloved friend and family member, Christopher Taylor, passed away. We are now left with a huge hole in our hearts and a misunderstanding as to how something like this could have happened to him. I started this blog for anyone who knew him, so they could have a place to vent, cry, laugh, and share his memories.

Share A Memory
Feel free to share a memory or a little something about Chris. Just click where it says "Comments" below.
Chris and I met in 1988 when I was 18. He was a friend of a guy I knew named Gary.
Gary used to cruise around in his Monte Carlo and one night he had Chris with him. Gary & Chris invited my friend Renee and I to go cruise around with them. Renee sat up front with Gary and Chris sat in back with me.
I remember we were on Faussett Rd. and we all saw an albino deer. It was really cool and Chris was so excited about it, because of course he loved hunting and loved to watch deer.
A few months later Chris and I start going out....
I too have felt chris around me,whispering in my ear,trying to ease my saddness. When i got the news of your passing, my mind went blank,saddness, confusion, and anger set in. Wanting to remember everything and getting nothing!! so, I asked christopher to help me remember all the times we shared together. My very next thought was of a rabbits foot. I gave christopher a rabbits foot for luck and saftey, just before he was locked up as a kid. we hadnt even known eachother that long.. He thought that was just really cool. he held onto that rabbits foot for years ,in fact he lost it many times and it would show up in the strangest places.....I wonder what ever happened to it????? Since that day i asked for his help, the memories have been coming on a regular basis. Things I havent thought of in years!!!! The next day shannon found me thru classmates and had a web site for chris. she had posted some pictures , so I thought Id take a look. Holy mother of god, there for all to see was a picture of mrs. taylor, chris and me.. the first dinner I had with his family being boyfriend and girlfriend. he was so proud that day and i was so nervous.. I think he was about 16 and I was 14 or so. That was one of the best days we had together. needless to say, I totally lost it after seeing that picture, both sad and happy tears and my memories are coming with such clarity, as if christopher is telling them to me, himself.. We made a pact so many years ago and hes kept that pact, even on the other side. He was always true to his word, a true friend and a true believer that everything would be ok in the end. HE LOVED LIFE AND ALL THOSE HE LEFT BEHIND!!
