Big Cousin.
Words can't express this feeling in my chest everytime I start thinking of you. Even tho we wasn't blood cousins you have ALWAYS been my favorite out of the family. I will miss you so much. Watch over all of us until we meet again. 
Forever n

To My Amazing Husband,
   I have no words. I thought me, you and I were ready when it was time. You shared with me many times you was ready to go home to Jesus. I was so happy for you. We went through a lot of grieving while you where still here. You listened to me share my feelings of anger, hopelessness, and love. While I would listen to you share your feeling about being ready to meet you maker and knowing where you where going and the anger because you wanted to be out of pain and he just hadn't taken you home yet. The morning you left us the house was crazy as usual, trying to get all the kids ready and out the door for school. I went in your room to tell you that Michelle wasn't coming in but that she wanted me to put a picture of the 4 of us in your hand. So I told you what she said and let your mom know that I was going to take the kids to school and be right back. I gave you a kiss on your check, told you I love you and that I would be right back. You looked so peaceful. You had your teddy bear in one hand the picture I just gave you in the other and your mom siting by your side. I wasn't comfortable leaving my jut said don't and by the time my mind processed everything your mom come around the corner to get me. I went back in your room and you where gone. Your body still there for me to hold on to of course. I left your room told Alex and Michelle and let them stay home from school. After comforting the kids and making the calls that had to be made I went in your room and held your hand. You was always my protector all the way to the end. You didn't want me in that room when you passed, your way of protecting me. After a little more than an hour Pastor Ernie came in and said that I had to let them come get you. I had held your hand with my forehead on top of both our hands. I had no idea that it was over an hour since you had passed. While I know that you where at peace and ready to go, you knew that I would never be ready to let you go. So you passed when I was not in the room and I was able to feel a little amount of peace for that time that I just held your hand. 
Joshua,
You have always been my soul mate and you always said the same about me. You were always my protector and my everything. No words could describe how I feel inside and the things that go through my head knowing that you should have had a long healthy life with me and the kids. They tell me more than I tell them that daddy is in heaven and that we should be happy for him. I want you to know that I am happy, I am just having trouble with the acceptance of it all. You have been half my heart for almost 15 years and while you still have half my heart the other half is trying to figure out how to live without it.

Always & Always

My high school buddy Joshua Taylor went home to be with God this morning. Praying for him, as well as his wife and kids. Cancer is a devastating force, but you fought hard. I'll always remember our lunch dates in the old NAHS cafeteria and that beautiful smile. Love you, friend. ❤

I hope you rest well! ❤ Deborah Taylor i love you and am so sorry for your loss if you need anything please let mom and i know.

     Dad was a good man and he love me, my mom, and sister. He loved his games and he helped me, my mom, and sister with our home work. I just loved when he would tuck us in at night and before that I would play a match of call of duty and see who would get final kill screen shot. 

See you again,

Alex Taylor

Mane i just been thinking bout my friend who passed away from cancer monday and his family.He was a great guy who would do anything for anybody everyday at work all he talked about was his kids wife and family...R.I.H Joshua Taylor i learned so much from you

Well today i went to funeral for Joshua Taylor. I know you wanted to talk me to josh but i never got the chance to talk to you. I was so caught up in what i been doing that missed my chance to talk to you. For that im truly sorry and i will alway miss you. Goodbye Josh. I'll see you again one day when its my time.

I'm so sorry I didn't get there to say goodbye. I really wanted to...So I'll say goodbye here. You were a wonderful man and a great friend through school. I didn't have many friends, and you accepted me. Thank you. You will always be missed and never forgotten. Rest In Peace, until we meet again...

We had to say goodbye to you today. It was hard and sad but I know u not in pain no more and your happy. I know this is not goodbye forever for I know we will see u again. R.I.P Joshua Taylor we love you and will miss you

Im sorry Josh I didnt get to say goodbye. I have never known a time we were not friends. I literally cannot remember knowing you, and thinking "that guys cool we should be friends". You never once made me feel like the weird and overly white pastey kid that I was, you were happy to be friends with me regardless of how damned weird I was. You were like a brother to me, and I knew I could always call you whenever about anything without judgement. Your smile could light up anyone's day, and your laugh was infectious. I will never forget the times we shared together. Thank you for being my friend. I miss you already, and will always remember the times we shared. Even the white castles eating contests that everyone begged us not to repeat. Your friend, always. Matt.

Josh will forever be missed but never forgotten, he touched a lot of lives and made friends along the way.i will never forget his smile or the way he would look at his wife and kids with all of his heart , Fly high my friend until we meet again

I have known josh for a long time went to school with him.he was a very nice person .my heart aches for his family krystal and his children

It was a great pleasure to know Josh in the short time that I did! A man of his family he was!!! The boys and I pray for you Michelle, and the kids! I pray God gives you all strength as you go through life without the greatest man you knew! We love you all!

Special memory with my brother is him teaching me how to do donuts in his car. I love you brother your my hero and the best brother anyone could ask for

Joshua, I was able to know you for about 13 years. Krystle and I were best friends during middle school. We have stayed friends for a long time.  I have been blessed to know Michelle and Alex. I am sorry to say I was there for your twins short lives and funerals.  You have been a great husband and an amazing father. Your twins need you now. Go, be with them. Your family will hurt and suffer, but they understand. You fought hard.  Your wife is the most amazing, strong woman I know. She will get through this for your children. Rest in peace.

I loved my dad so much, that it makes me so happy that I know that he is not in pain and he is happy and if he is happy so am I. It also hurts me to know that he is not here but like I said I love him so much, I really don't care about were he is only, if he is happy. If I am happy then I am pretty sure he will be happy.

In loving memory of Joshua E. Taylor

Love,
Michelle S. Taylor

So young, so giving, so lovable, so selfless. It's sad that he's left behind his wife, Krystle Taylor and their two children, his huge family and tons of friends. But Josh and everyone else knew where he was going. He is now at rest, without pain and whole again. He joins his two sons and other family members that have went on before him. Rest easy Josh! Love you Bunches!!!

I'm so sorry for your loss sweetie,prayers for you all

I first met Josh when I moved to New Albany in 1998. He was the first person to even talk to me in high school; being the new kid is always hard but he made it easier to adjust to being in a new place. He had such a great sense of humor, and he was so easy to talk to. Our sophomore year, we were thick as thieves - me and Josh and Matt. Though we grew apart as we grew older, we could always get together and talk as old and good friends do whenever we ran into each other. Just knowing that he is gone, that we will never again sit and talk about our kids and our lives, leaves a hole. He was a beautiful soul, an awesome dad, and a good man. I can only imagine the grief his wife, children, and family are feeling. My deepest sympathy to you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and family at this most difficult time.
