Timothy was a friend to everyone and was easy to become friends with. A cherished family memory is when Timothy was a young boy and spotted a snake.

However, the snake turned out to be a Diamondback Timber Rattlesnake, complete with ten rattles and a button. Timothy was a member of Church on the Hill in DeSoto, Texas. He worked as a diesel mechanic and as a driller for various oil companies, including Robinson, Cactus, and Moron. Throughout his career, Timothy drilled hundreds of wells in West Texas.

Timothy is preceded in death by his parents, William Max Taylor and Ruby Faye Mason Taylor; and his brother, Douglas Taylor.

Those left to cherish his memory are his sister, Bettina Taylor Webb, and husband Phillip Webb of Townsend, TN; and his brother, Billy D. Taylor, and wife Rodelia L. Taylor of Mansfield, TX.
