It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Larry Elijah Taylor, a cherished soul whose laughter and warmth illuminated the lives of those fortunate enough to have known him. Born on September 11, 1950, Larry lived a life full of joy, love, and adventure, leaving an indelible mark on and friends alike. He departed this world on November 27, 2024, and as we gather to remember him, we are reminded of the pleasures that brought him so much happiness.

Larry had a unique gift for making everyone around him smile. His great sense of humor and infectious laughter drew people in, wrapping them in the comfort of his presence.

Larry deeply cherished family time, and it was in those gatherings his spirit truly shone. Each memory holds a treasure of moments spent together, filled with love, laughter, and an unwavering bond.

An avid movie fanatic and devoted participant at Comic Con, Larry had a passion for storytelling and cherished the tales woven through cinema. He found solace in the stories that played on the silver screen, each film igniting his imagination and fueling his sense of wonder. His love for good food and adventure extended beyond the confines of the theater, as he enjoyed traveling to new destinations, fishing in tranquil waters, and savoring every bite of life to its fullest.

Larry was also a dedicated usher, embodying the spirit of service with grace and sincerity. His efforts did not go unnoticed; instead, they became a testament to his character—a man who poured love and kindness into every role he embraced. He loved the Lord and always went out his way to share the goodness of Jesus.
