They have all become good men.Jerry was most proud of Chase and his success as a family man, and in his field of golf course management.Jerry’s life was music – it came from his soul and was his life blood, hope and reason to live. He was more talented than he ever knew and touched so many lives, encouraging them to hope, dream and never give up.“I will miss him every day that I have left on earth,” states his sister, Linda. “We talked almost every morning and laughed, until lately when we cried. Today he is a peace and is teaching St. Peter to say, ‘Yeah, Buddy.'” “I’ll see you on the other side. Make glorious music in Heaven!”The Taylor family has requested that in lieu of flowers or memorials, contributions be made to the Abilene Education Foundation-Jerry Taylor Scholarship Fund, to help an AHS student who shows exceptional talent in music.
