Kyle B. Taylor, 53, of Acworth, GA, passed away peacefully in his home on July 17, 2024.
On October 13, 1970, Kyle was born to LTC Sam and Ann Taylor in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. With his lungs not quite developed, he had a rough start but grow to be the amazingly strong person we knew. Kyle was an Environmental Technician by profession. In his field, he was regarded as the person to fix anything. Kyle was a devoted son, brother, uncle, and friend to many. He is survived by his parents, LTC Sam and Ann Taylor, his sibling, Joy and Nelson Breeden; as well as his nieces and nephews Taylor, Colton, Lily, and Logan, who all adored him. He also leaves behind amazing extended family, known as “the regulars,” at The Black Bear Tavern.
Kyle graduated from Henderson High School, in Atlanta, GA. As a young man, he enjoyed wrestling, fencing, but most importantly being outdoors. He was an Eagle Scout, first and for most; ALWAYS PREPARED. Kyle enjoyed time at Philmont, Boy Scout Camp as a camper and later at other camps as staff, giving back to the next generation. He continued this into adulthood where he has spent a week each summer at Camp Narroway, teaching young ladies outdoor skills and home care and repair where he was fondly known as Uncle Kyle to many. He always seemed to find abandoned kittens or flying squirrels alike and bring them home to care for them. Kyle was called on by many to help move, fix, or create something needed. He was the one everyone wanted to be near in case a disaster hit.
Funeral Mass will be held at St. John Neumann Catholic Church; 633 St. John Court, Knoxville, TN 37934 on August 9, 2024, at 12:00pm.
