Obituary of Taylor Davis Zirk

Taylor was so much more than just a husband to me, he was my best friend, my rock, my heart. 

He was a devoted father whose love for his children knew no bounds, he showed up fully and never took a moment for granted.

Taylor looked up to his parents and older brother with deep admiration, family was everything to him. 

To his friends, he was loyal, uplifting and always there with a helping hand or a good laugh, he had a rare gift,

Taylor could walk into any room and light it up with his smile, and that deep, contagiuous laugh that we all loved so much.

He was a master of his craft, a talented plumber who could solve any problem and did so with pride and precision. He was respected and admired in the trade industry.

Taylor faced struggles, addiction was a battle that he fought.  In that struggle he showed strength and vulnerability. In the end the addiction overcame him, and it was what took him from us far too soon. Yet in his times, he inspired others to seek help. Speaking honestly and caring deeply about his loved ones.

Taylor leaves behind a legacy of kindness, resilience and unwavering love. We remember not only the challenges he faced, but the fullness of his laughter, generous spirit, and the light he shared with every life he touched.

Though he is gone, his love remains with us always, etched in our hearts, our stories, and every smile he gave.

We will honor him by living with the same generosity, courage and laughter that defined his life.

He will forever be missed but not forgotten.
