Anthony "Tony" Taylor

He was born on June 8,1970 to the late Arthur and Betty Frances Taylor.

Tony is survived by his loving spouse, Sandra Leigh Taylor; his cherished daughters, Kristen Leigh Taylor (Tyler Thibeault) and Hannah Lilly Taylor; his sister, Kimberly Taylor Halmi, and joins his brother-in-law, James Ryan Halmi, in eternal rest.

His memory lives on with many loved ones, who will forever miss his presence.

We wish to remember Tony as he was—flaws and all. He wasn’t one to mince words; you always took him at face value. He spoke his mind and left nothing to the imagination. Tony was truly one of a kind.

Tony was an extremist in everything he did, always pursuing his passions with intensity. Whether it was his 100-mile or Ragnar runs or his golf expeditions, he gave it his all. A man of many talents, Tony enjoyed running, biking, and golfing. He loved working on his van, transforming it into a home away from home for his 100-mile runs in the mountains.

Above all, he loved his daughters beyond measure. The wedding of his oldest daughter, Kristen, was one of his proudest moments, and his speech that day was a sincere and heartfelt display of daddy-daughter love that will be remembered forever. His youngest daughter, Hannah, was his pride and joy. There has never been a more devoted dad to a child’s sport than Tony. He was undoubtedly her biggest fan.

Tony worked as a Mechanical Engineer with the United States Postal Service for over 20 years, where he made lasting friendships and positively impacted the community. His wife, Sandra, was his true life partner, and they shared 29 years of marriage together. They experienced both good times and bad, but Tony was committed to his "Sandy" through it all.

Tony had a wide circle of friends from his many hobbies and sports, and in the days since his passing, we’ve been overwhelmed by the depth of his friendships and the impact he had on so many lives.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests those who wish to express sympathy to consider making a donation to the family.

Rest in peace, Tony. Your passion for life will be forever remembered by all who knew you.
