Our dear sweet nephew Taylor was tragically killed in a sudden accident while playing at a school near his home in Star Valley Wyoming, on Tuesday February 9th, just five days before his sixth birthday. Taylor was an amazing little boy full of life. He was constantly trying to please everyone around him. He was a great friend and had a great laugh and smile. We are truly going to miss him. We are so grateful for the knowledge of the hereafter and know that Taylor is in a better place with our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ. During the funeral services, one of Jefferson's friends who spoke talked of where children went who died before the age of accountability. It was said that he was possibly too pure for this life and went straight to the Celestial Kingdom. I truly believe that is where Taylor is, watching over all of us awaiting the day when we will be reunited. Until then it gives us greater motivation to live our lives the best way we can so we can be worthy to return to his presence. We love you so much Taylor and can't wait for that day to come when we will be together again.
This is the program for Taylor's funeral services.
