Kevin Michael Taylor was a magnetic, full of life, energetic, musical, humorous and one-of-a-kind man. He died tragically at the age of 35 due to a longboarding accident where he suffered a brain injury.
In his awe-inspiring life many thought of him as Superman as he was incredibly handsome, with a sculpted body through dedication and training, and because he was so agile and athletic. He would regularly climb buildings with his bare hands for fun and hike the highest mountains. He was full of creativity and an artist. He dedicated the last eight years of his life to make a one-of-a-kind poker app. His aesthetic for design and modern application was bar none. All that knew him, loved and admired him. I was honored and gifted for life by being his wife.
His last gift to the world was to be a hero and donate his heart to a 69-year-old man in Nebraska, right kidney to a 28-year-old woman inflicted with incurable kidney failure, his left kidney and liver were donated to a 55-year-old man in California, giving him a second chance at life. Lastly, his pancreas has gone to researchers at Banner – University Medical Center, and right lung has gone to Translational Genomics Research Institute.
While losing his life, he brought life to others.
Grieving. How do you grieve when you lose your child, your flesh and blood, the person who you admire most in the world, the part of your life you have the most pride in, the person you would give your own life for if it meant theirs would continue. I don’t have any idea. Losing a child is a life of eternal hell. Daily tears ranging from that one tear escaping from the corner of your eye to full on sobbing uncontrollably. It’s been 6 years, 10 months and 22 days since my first born child, my Golden Child as I referred to him, my most significant contribution to the world, my son Kevin left this world as we knew him. With him my joy, that genuine laughter that only Kevin gave us all, the glow on my face and gleam in my eye. April 7, 2019 Kevin died and he is a part of me. Something within me died too and will never return. I’ve heard it said that “time heals all”. Not true and I’m telling you that isn’t my opinion, it’s a fact. The only thing that changes with time are coping mechanisms. One works for a while and when it stops another one comes. I have found some peace though. Peace in knowing I’m not alone. Gravitating to other mothers who have been dealt the same existence of eternal pain, the nightmares, the PTSD, the feeling that simply making through a day is a challenge, the love inside that has nowhere to go and becomes a hard knot inside my heart and gut like a tumor. Now I have an unbreakable bond with other mothers who have lost their child as well. The unbreakable bond that I wouldn’t wish on anyone but wouldn’t trade. My answer became clear. Be there for others just like me, talk with them, listen to them, cry with them and give them some understanding. Most importantly love them. Give them grace. I’ve found love again. Rest in peace my Golden Child. Kevin Michael Taylor 03/20/1984-04/07/2019. Forever 35. My Angel…
I learnt how great and saving lives you are. Idk you but seems you are a great guy. Rest on God knows the best.
I’m just seeing this as I can only come back here at certain times. Thank you for your kind words and thoughtfulness from the bottom of my heart. I wish I knew who you were just to hug you. I could use one right now. Godspeed
Dear Bonnie,
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know something simple, but deeply true, you are truly one of the most amazing and beautiful souls I’ve ever met. There's a warmth and sincerity in you that shines through every word, every gesture. It’s rare… and incredibly special. Thank you for being exactly who you are. The world is brighter with your spirit in it, and I feel grateful to have crossed paths with someone as genuine and kind-hearted as you.
Stay wonderful
I miss you son
I tried hard. I hope you made it into heaven I'm sick of this news. Stacy
I am so sorry to hear this. I was friends with him and tried talking to him about Jesus. I hope he knew Him before his passing.
You keep showing up somehow in mysterious ways! Your spirit is strong, and will always live on!
You’re always on my mind, your passing changed me in every way. I’ll see you again someday. I live my life to make sure I go to Heaven.
Kevin was a great best friend and terribly missed. So glad he lives on and his beautiful wife made this page to remember him by, couldn’t agree more with her words.
I don’t know u but u existed in the life of some with good memories, I pray to be remembered just like u, death shouldn’t because u are so cute and I believe u got a beautiful soul, may your soul rest in perfect peace
Missing you more than usual lately….
My incredible son. As proud of him in death as I am in life. From his first breath to my last ♥
When you lose a loved one, there are so many memories and those memories become treasures. He’ll always be with you and treasure all the memories he shared with you.
