Taylor enjoyed traveling to Deadwood, South Dakota, to play 3-Card Poker and be with friends and family. He enjoyed finding different craft breweries along his travels and making new friends along the way. Taylor was an avid sports fan and could and would, talk about any sport. He enjoyed his Monday Night Men’s Golf League (at least the last hundred yards of each hole)! He loved his cattle and his horse, Shaggy, and life in the Sandhills.
