    Army, Sergeant
    Baqubah, Iraq
    Gender: Male
    Hometown: Blythe
    Our only comfort is knowing that he died doing what he loved, because at 21 he still had so much to give.
    — Pam Everhart, aunt, in the San Bernardino Sun

    Taylor's memorial service, held at the Colorado River Fairgrounds, drew more than a thousand people, the Palo Verde Valley Times reported. Many more, the newspaper said, lined the roads into the fairgrounds as the funeral procession passed.
