A Life That Shined Too Bright to Be Forgotten
Taylor Breanne Giles 07/07/1990 - 10/31/2026
Some souls are simply too beautiful for this world, and some lights shine so brightly that even when they are gone, their glow never fades. Our beautiful girl was one of those souls. Taken far too soon, she leaves behind a world that is a little less colorful, a little less bright, and forever changed by having known her.
She was a free spirit in every sense of the word. Sweet, funny, spunky, wonderfully weird, and unapologetically herself. Gorgeous inside and out, she had a way of making life feel bigger, laughter come easier, and ordinary moments become unforgettable. She loved deeply, lived boldly, and brought a little bit of magic wherever she went.
Her strength was undeniable, her humor contagious, and her joy and love had a way of making the sunshine brighter. She was the kind of person who brought out the best in others without even trying. She lit up every room, touched countless hearts, and changed lives in ways she may never have fully realized.
To those lucky enough to call her a friend, she was the weirdest, sweetest, most beautiful best friend anyone could ask for. She was a source of laughter, comfort, adventure, and unconditional love. She was a reminder to be yourself, embrace the unexpected, find joy in the little things, and never let the world dim your light.
Though her time here was far too short, the love she gave and the lives she touched will carry her spirit forward forever.
She is survived by her loving parents, Christi and Troy Christensen, and William and Whitney Giles; her siblings Dani (Eric), Jake (Morgan), Nick (Erica), Savannah (Jordan), Megan (David), Kristin, Jacob (Elizabeth), Devon; and her bonus siblings Kaleb (Andi), Sen (Brandon), Mason, and Grace; her grandparents Judy Giles, Laurel Gifford. Preceded in death by Owen Stephen Gifford (grandfather), Deloris Tims (grandmother), and Richard Giles (grandfather).
Her greatest joys and the loves of her life were her nieces and nephews: Brooklin, Liam, Remi, James, Kylie, Greyson, Evie, Lucas, Mickey, Charlie, and Maxx. She adored them beyond words, and each of them will carry a special piece of her heart.
She also leaves behind her loving boyfriend, Devan Sovinsky, who shared in her love, laughter, and journey.
While our hearts struggle to understand why someone with so much life left to live was taken so soon, we find comfort in knowing that the world was a better place because she was in it.
We will remember her in the laughter that catches us by surprise, the adventures that remind us of her, the music that makes us smile, and the moments when life feels a little more beautiful than expected.
She was wild, she was wonderful, she was strong, she was love. She was one of a kind.
She didn’t just live in this world. She made it brighter.
And although her story ended far too soon, her light will never stop shining in the hearts of those who loved her.
A celebration of Taylor's life will be held on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 from 5:00-8:00pm, at Le Jardin, 1910 E Dimple Dell Rd, Sandy, UT 84092.
Join us for refreshments, music, and sharing memories of our beautiful Taylor.
