Jack Taylor Obituary
May 9, 1974 - May 20, 2023
YOUNG HARRIS, GA - Jack Richard Taylor passed away unexpectedly at his parents' home in Young Harris, GA on Saturday, May 20, 2023. He was born in Johnson city, TN on May 9, 1974 to Jackilee Thomas and Robert Richard Taylor. He was a graduate of Tri-Cities Christian High School. He attended Carson Newman University in Jefferson City, TN and graduated from East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, TN. He was an excellent athlete and an avid Tennessee VOLS fan (GO VOLS!!) and Atlanta Braves fan. Jack worked many different jobs which allowed him to travel and see many parts of the US. His last job found him working as a manager for Vail Resorts in Crested Butte, CO. He loved this change in his career path and, following a demanding ski season, he was looking forward to the summer season of mountain biking, tennis and softball. Jack was preceded in death by his paternal and maternal grandparents and his beloved sister, Julie Dawn Taylor. He is survived by his parents, Robert Taylor & Jackilee Taylor, his brother Gregory James Taylor and sister-in-law Elizabeth (Leeli) Taylor of Milton, GA, two nieces Ashley Barrett Taylor and Morgan Elizabeth Taylor and one nephew Brooks Thomas Taylor. A Celebration of Jack's life will be held at a later date. Donations in Jack's memory can be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis Condolences can be sent to the family at PO.

Jack Taylor (and in some closer circles "Jackery") was someone who was considered a close friend of mine for many years. From meeting him at Cheddars to growing up with him in college and even beyond college for our first salaried jobs, Jack was there by my side. As most people do and as time goes on, we eventually both took different routes in career and personal directions, but we would still talk every few months or so.
His jokes, laugh, stories, and kindness may be gone from this world but the great thoughts, memories, and our friendship will always remain. You are and will continue to be missed Jack.

I will miss you dearly Jack. You were one of the most positive, uplifting people I have met in Crested Butte. I will always remember how you gave me and my coworkers discounted lift tickets, free rental tickets and free goggles so they could afford to ski for their first time. We came back to the shop after and gave you a 30 rack of PBR to show how thankful we were to have a friend like you. Every time you came into Clark's you would instantly put a smile on our faces and I will never forget that. Your positivity and kindness will forever be cherished and remembered.
