Taylor was born in Duncan Oklahoma to Sam and Donna Dye on December 8, 1988. Taylor was born with Down Syndrome and was a kind, loving soul. He went to school in Abilene where he attended Wylie from K- 12th and was a 2011 Wylie High school graduate. Taylor was a true Wylie Bulldog who always had a smile on his face.

Taylor "TayTay" was one of a kind who never complained about anything in life. He loved being with his nieces Morgan and Camri and playing in his pool. Taylor was full of life and enjoyed watching his favorite movie, Earnest goes to jail, while sipping on his Dr Pepper. His love for his Wylie Bulldogs, music (Garth Brooks) and having his loving family, friends and doctors by his side were the biggest rewards in his life.

Taylor fully trusted his doctors and knew when he would see them they would make him feel better and put a smile on his face. Taylor was always strong and beat all the odds.

Taylor was preceded in death by his Grandparents Glenn Don Bowen, Martha Alice Bowen, James Ray Dye and Willie Alice Koch Dye.
