Kaitlyn Evelyn Violet Taylor

It is with great sadness we must announce the sudden passing of our beautiful and beloved daughter Kaitlyn Evelyn Violet Taylor. Kaitlyn was loving and compassionate by nature and worked selflessly as a support and outreach worker on the DTES. She loved her job and planned to eventually move forward working with youth challenged by mental wellness and addictions, feeling with her own life experience she could connect with others.

Kaitlyn was a talented musician and song writer. She started writing her own poems at the age of six and she started her own band in the sixth grade. She continued to create beautiful and soulful music for the rest of her life.

Kaitlyn was kind, funny, compassionate and loving. She was a unique soul who danced to the beat of her own drum. She could do almost anything she set her mind to. She loved her family and friends, always making us all feel loved, important, supported and valued.

Kittykat you are our sunshine and love of our lives but now the sun has set and you will be forever missed.

Kaitlyn is survived by her mother Shauna Kiss, father Ross Taylor (Andrea). Her brother Ryan (Jasleen), niece and nephews, Maya, Zayn and Dylan. Step siblings Alan, Chris and Louisa; Grandmothers Darlene Cancellieri and June Taylor.

In lieu of flowers we are asking folks to make a donation to Atira Women's Resource Society or the Heart Tattoo Society as these are nonprofits Kaitlyn worked for and was passionate about. We feel Kaitlyn would approve of us honoring her memory in this way.

Our hearts they ache with sadness

And tears still freely flow

What it meant to lose you

No one will ever know

Our hearts are full of memories

We cherish them with care

The way you had to leave us

Will always seem unfair

Our thoughts are forever with you

Your place no one can fill

In life we loved you dearly

In death we love you still

We miss your kind and helpful ways

Your teasing and your smile

What we would give to hold your hand

And talk with you a while.

One thing we have to tell you

Of which there is no doubt

You are wonderful to remember

Yet so hard to live without

Remembering is easy

We do it every day

Losing you is the heartache

That will never go away
