Byron Taylor

Byron Scott Taylor, son of Carroll Leamon Taylor and Virginia (Riley) Taylor, was born June 14, 1969, in Springfield, Missouri, and departed this life September 12, 2023, at his home near Mansfield, Missouri, at the age of 54 years, 2 months, and 28 days.

He was preceded in death by his father and a great-nephew, Jaxsen.

Byron is survived by his daughter, Jessica Lawson and husband, Andrew, mother, Virginia Taylor, brother, Mark Leamon Taylor all of Mansfield, grandchildren, Charity LaRae Taylor and Brianna Marie Bowers, niece, Summer Dawn Husky and husband, Chris, of Blue Eye, Missouri, nephew, Dusty Leamon Taylor and wife, Jasmine of Mansfield, great-nieces, Elayna Rose Taylor and Arianna Taylor, great-nephews, Dax Taylor, Zane Leamon Taylor, Phoenix Ray Husky, and Dawson Blake Street, other relatives and many friends.

He was born in Springfield and lived all his life in Mansfield. He was a graduate of Mansfield High School in the Class of 1987. Byron was a hard worker all his life. He milked cows for Darrell Sparlin, trimmed trees, worked on the pipeline, owned Taylor’s Pro-Clean and worked at Hutchen’s Industries for thirteen years. He was baptized and saved at a young age.

In his spare time, he liked to fish, hunt, ride 4-wheelers, being outdoors, playing darts and pool with his friends, collecting flashlights and could have possibly been put into the category of a pack rat.

Byron was a loving father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend. He loved his family dearly, especially his grandchildren. We are shocked

at his sudden passing but have many memories that we will always cherish.
