In Loving Memory
Dean TaylorTallahassee, FL Parents: Siblings: Click here to view photo gallery |
Dean was a brilliant and sensitive philosopher and musician, who enjoyed life to the fullest. He will probably be best remembered for his amazing gifts of deep conversation and unmatched wit. To know him was to love him because of his own endless capacity for love and compassion. He left us in body, but we cannot and will not say goodbye. We will hold him firmly and forever in our hearts and our souls.

Hi.Dean what can I say. When I heard that you had taken the journey to Saint Peters gates. I was overwhelmed,my heart was beating fast. I couldn't breathe. Knowing that you took the journey so soon in your life. I wanted to cry.I was frustrated that I have to wait until that day the last trumpet is heard for me. You made an influence in my life with the knowledge you had. You were the only one who I could hold a conversation with,and understood me
The thing that really pisses me off is that 2 of your friends couldn't call me to tell me,that you will see me next lifetime. I'm not going to put their name on blast,But it was the 3rd. friend in our circle,Dave that told me the news. And now the people we used to talk to,don't even try to get in touch with me. I still have my cell number the same,and Dave got the courage to call me and tell me.
I miss you much Dean,I considered you as my intellectual friend, my brother from another mother,that understood me,and what I was about. I'll miss hugging you and shaking you like a rag doll,but you knew that was my way of saying I love you bruh. I just wished the 2 other friends would've called me,so I could say see ya later my dude.
I still remember us cruising around in the car,as loud as possible to the song "Fantastic Voyage" and the good times we had.
Oh and if you talk to the big guy in the sky,could you tell him my mom and I are looking for a affordable place to live. For the past 6 years I've had to sleep in the backseat of the car with mom,trying to sleep in the front seat not very comfortable.
I know if you were still here today,you wouldn't quit speaking with me because I'm homeless. When our other friends found out I was homeless. They said,when I see you on the corner holding up a sign,I'm going to throw garbage at you and laff. Because that's all you are is garbage.
Since I wasn't told about your passing.today I'm going to celebrate your life cuz that what people in New Orleans do remember the good times we had.
R.I.P. my gental giant.

Thinking of you Dean. Love from Keith's Mom. |
On most days, your death still seems too terrible to be real. You are still my first thought in the morning and my last thought every night. That will never change.
You WERE bigger than life and all who knew you struggle with the loss of your positive force.
I love you, so much. I miss you more with every day that passes.

What I tell people now is that I 'lost' my son. I like that better than "my son died". The concept of death makes no sense to me. I can't see you and I don't know where you are. That's lost, but you will NEVER be 'dead' to me. I see you and I talk to you every single day even though I know you can't see me or hear me. I know you're at peace now. I love you. You are my heart. |
Thinking of you and your Mom during the Christmas Season! xxoo |
You are missed Dean!! |
I miss you Dean. Your fire of life still burns bright and shines on through me. Will always love you man |

Dean, you are my life, my love, and my soulmate. This has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Each day you are prevelent in my thoughts and my heart. I don't feel that I will ever learn to live without you, because I don't want to. I doesn't seem like a life without you in it. You always made me understand that I was worth something because I was worth something to you. Dean you will always be the best thing that ever happened to me. You are loved by so many and we are all enriched by our knowledge of you in our lives. |
I miss you Dean. You'll always be a big part of who I am. |

I will always miss Dean. He was my big brother, my roll model, my most influential peer. He could be one of the biggest a-holes you ever met, but he could also be one of the kindest and most thoughtful people as well. He had a deep soul and a superb intellect that went hand in hand. His heart and brain were one in the same. Love you bro.
