Charles Kevin Taylor

Charles Kevin Taylor, age 5 1/2, passed away with his mother by his side on Saturday, May 5, 2018 at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor, MI. Charlie was born September 6, 2012 outside Salt Lake City, UT. Charlie was a sweet, silly, smart and compassionate little boy. He attended Over the Rainbow Preschool where he met two of his best buddies, Quinton and Parker. Charlie was a perfect travel companion to his mom. They had wonderful adventures together in California, Florida, Chicago, Charleston, Petoskey, and various other destinations. Charlie loved being on the water, whether in a boat or swimming like a fish. He was energetic and fearless, recently learning how to dive. He also loved playing soccer and invented a unique backyard game called “Monster” that many got to enjoy. Charlie loved visits to the zoo and fed many a giraffe, his favorite animal. He was the most wonderful part of his mother’s life and brought joy to so many friends and family members. Charlie is survived by his mother, Lisa Taylor; uncle and aunt, Todd and Connie Taylor; and dear cousins, the Connors, Horn and the Malec-Kosak families. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Luanne and Thomas Taylor; and Uncle Kevin Taylor.
