Christian Romney Taylor

Christian was and is one of the kindest, most tender souls. He impacted our lives for good. We love the Taylor Family with our whole hearts

Taylor Family- I speak for all the New Yorkers who love you. We're here... and will always be here for you. Christian is an important part of our Westchester family. Forever!
He has such a fitting name because he sees others as Christ does - no labels just love. We honor your life, Christian. Thank you for fighting so hard. Thank you for the kind example and words you left us all.

We were heartbroken to hear about the loss of Christian. There are no words adequate for a loss this painful, but I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with your family during this unimaginable time.

Christian’s life mattered deeply, and I hope you can feel surrounded by love and support as you grieve. Please know that you are not alone, and that so many people are holding your family in their hearts and in their prayers right now.

In moments like this, we may not understand God’s plan, but we hold on onto His promises and His love. May the Lord bless you with peace, strength, and comfort, and that you feel His presence carrying you always.

Beautifully said about your beautiful boy.
Our prayers are with you and your family. ❤️

Deepest Condolences to the Taylor Family

What a beautifully written obituary for, I'm sure, an incredible human. Jeff, I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this. Our hearts are with you.

Tears were shed for you all. My heart is heavy.

My mind goes back to the many conversations about how deeply Christian's father and family love him.

I pray you’re able to find peace in cherished memories, grace through this grief, and hope in a future where you will one day will know Christian again.

Sending heartfelt love and condolences to your good, good family.

Jeff and Juliann and family, I never met Christian, but I have felt the love of your family. Because of social media, and being friends with Mick and Deedee, I feel like I know you all. I’m so sorry for the loss of this beautiful boy, I hope your family can feel the peace that people are praying for you. Let this tragedy bring your family, extended and all closer to Christ and each other, and strive to be together again forever.

Christian, I love you. I have always loved you. I will always love you. I'll see you again.

I remember the time Christian invited me and a few other friends to watch ‘The Godfather’ at his place. He made cookies for everyone and we had a lot of fun. Or the night we drove to the hospital after playing volleyball to grab hot chocolate cuz it was the only Starbucks still open that late and I think we probably chatted until midnight. He was very considerate and thoughtful. I liked being around him and I’ll hold on that memory of him.

I have loved Christian since his birth and will continue to love him until we meet again. Our love to the Taylors! You are in our hearts and our prayers.

One of my favorite memories of Christian is when we were babysitting him while his parents were out of the country. We had all the Taylor kids gathered on the couch in University of Utah gear to take a picture for his parents. He snuck a BYU shirt on under the Utah shirt and flashed it right as we took the picture. A true fan or a loyal son, or maybe both. We loved Christian so much. We also love the whole Taylor family. Sending our love.

I love you, Christian! Our shared, special day of October 9th will carry an added level of joy and celebration each year until we meet again!

I have so many sweet memories of Christian playing with my children when they were all little kids together in Westchester, New York. He had the sweetest, kindest eyes!

Christian neither you nor I believe in religion or a specific kind of afterlife. But what we do believe in is love, kindness, and empathy. You have motivated me to look for a therapist, to get up in the mornings and not skip classes, and to get good grades. I have felt your beliefs in every hug, every convo, every meme sent to each other. You let me hang with you and your friends. You were my Sleigh Ride buddy, my Arcane buddy, my Luigis Mansion buddy, my Majoras Mask buddy, my Animal Crossing buddy. You were my roomate for a time. You gave me the most thoughtful gifts. You drove me to and from my apartment so I could hang with the fam. You lightened so much of my load during recovery from surgery. You were proud of me throughout every step of my life. And I will carry your memory and your love with me for every step going forward.
‘Love, Always’

The Taylor Family,
I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of your son. There are no words satisfactory enough to ease the hurt you must be feeling at this time. Your family is in my thoughts amd prayers.

Dear Christian, between New York, Utah and California we didn't get to bond like I wish we could have. Which makes anytime we had, that much more special. You became an amazing man, and we love you and always will! Sending all of our love to you and your family.

I’ve known Christian since preschool, he holds a very special place in my heart growing up in New York together. I love the Taylor family so much. Sending peace and prayers.

Christian had a stunning contrast with his dark hair and blue eyes in my nursery in Westchester 1st Ward in New York. He was always so delightful and bright with his twinkling eyes. My condolences for your heavy hearts and loss. God protect and keep you.

So sorry to hear this news… Christian was such a beautiful boy, inside and out. Sending so much love from the Stratford family.

Christian, you were one of the best humans I knew. Such a bright, loving, caring person. I echo much of Grace’s sentiments about an afterlife. Your memory will live on inside me. Whether that continues in some form after this life is unknown to me, and doesn’t matter much to me. I do know that I have now, and that’s wonderful memories of a very kind and loving human. I love you

Christian’s obituary is a beautiful tribute to the remarkably tender, brave, and loving soul he was. He fought so hard, and it’s clear how deeply he loved you all. Praying for your family to have strength during this time.

So saddened to see this news but know you’ll all be together again, raised in perfection. Love y’all.

I met Christian through mutual friends playing volleyball at the University of Utah a couple years ago, and it was an honor getting to know him. His sense of humor and attention to detail was admirable, and I knew from the moment I met him that he was a good and loyal friend. He will be dearly missed on and off the court. Thank you Christian for changing my life for the better.

Christian, you are a light to the world. You fought the good fight. I will miss you🫂❤️

Oh Christian we love you. You are a beautiful and important part of our extended family. We are all better for knowing you and feeling your gift in our lives. We miss you deeply. I hope you can feel and see the love that ties us all together from where you are now.

MY CONDOLENCE TO HIS LOVED ONES.MAY HIS SOUL REST IN OUR HEAVENLY FATHER CARE.WE LOVE YOU

Gone too soon and never forgotten, we will miss Christian here at Smiths 475, we hold him close and in our hearts forever.

He was very much loved and appreciated here with us.

UN ABRAZO MUY FUERTE CON MUCHO CARIÑO PARA TODA LA FAMILIA, MI MAS SENTIDO PESAME.

Jeff, I am saddened to read of this tragic news. Mental illness is such a devastating disease that takes far too many bright and shining lights from our lives. I sent my thoughts, sympathy and mostly, prayers for you and your family. I pray you will feel peace and understanding from the ultimate and eternal comforter.

The Taylor’s hold special place in our heart and were one of our favorite families in New York. My heart aches for you all. You’ll be in our prayers.

Christian,
I will cherish our frequent check-ins that showed your manifest good-nature and kind heart— always disagreeing with each other but never letting such trivialities impede our shared friendship.
I look forward to the day to continue our conversations, for there will be much to talk about. Until then.

How sorry we are for your loss. We pray the Comforter will bring you all peace as you say goodbye for a short time. Painful as it is, comfort can be yours as we combine our faith with yours. We send our love and prayers to you all. May you all find peace in Christ through the coming days.

Christian, in my heart, will always be that cherubic baby with the softest cheeks and huge, clear blue eyes in his sling on Juliane. We loved him so much, and adore the whole Taylor family. We ache for you all and send our deepest love.

I have the fondest memories running around our neighborhood and spending summers at Lake Isle with Christian and all the Taylor kids. Sending love to your family.

Christian,
In the grand scheme of things, we didnt know each other long. However, in the short time that we did I could tell how much of an amazing person you were, and genuinely enjoyed forming a friendship with you. The days we worked together were always some of the best, from sharing music and fun facts, talking about favorite movies or shows, or swapping stories about life experiences. I looked forward to teaching you how to play magic, and your card tricks were great and fun to watch.
You're one of those souls that leaves a mark on everyone you come into contact with, and I am grateful to have known you even for a short time. Your smile was contagious and your kindness was so genuine.
I hope you can rest easy now. The pain you held and the mental battle you were fighting is one I am all too familiar with, and you did an amazing job holding on. I know I dont speak for just myself when I say I wish there could be more time.

My thoughts go out to your family and loved ones during such a difficult time ❤️ You are dearly loved and utterly missed.

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear Christian. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Juliane,
I just learned about the death of your son. I can not even imagine the pain and sadness you and your family are going through. My heart aches for you. I’m so sorry your boy was suffering. I know that you and your family are loved by many. I hope you can feel everyone’s love around you. Love you!

I am one of Christian’s friends from volleyball and we met around a year and a half ago. He would always show up in crocs or these beat up converse and absolutely kill it on the court. He gathered a little group together to play a tournament at SLCC and that is what started our wonderful family as a volleyball group. Christian has been nothing but kind and uplifting to all that come and play. We continue to play every week and we keep him with us in our hearts and on our courts. I was touched by the friendship that we had as he supported me through the rocky points in my life. I am grateful to have come in contact with Christian and I know he’s absolutely crushing it in volleyball up there watching over us. Heaven gained a pretty amazing angel and I can’t wait to be able to see him again!
