Taylor Mary McGarry

Taylor, you are remarkable and sooooo loved! There is great comfort in knowing that you’re with Grandpa T. and Rachel now, surrounded by their love and light. You’ll always be in our thoughts and in our hearts!💗

Although I did not have the pleasure to share instances with Taylor, reading all the words from friends and family who live closely to her really painted a vibrant and colorful picture true to the amazing qualities and personality Taylor carried around.

Maybe in a different life ill have the opportunity to meet such a wonderful person. In the end, it’s not a final farewell, its a “until then”.

I would like to express my best wishes and condolences to everybody present, especially to her immediate family. If there is anything I can do, please feel free to reach out whenever the load feels a little heavy on the shoulders.

Taylor, you are a beautiful soul and a shining light in this world. Thank you for blessing my life for the good. Can't wait for a heavenly reunion.

You are already so missed and the world will never be the same. Now that you’re gone.
My deepest condolences to Jimmie. He loved you so! Love to your family and friends. Your light will continue to shine in all of our souls. Your smile, kindness and love remains, always! Peace be with you, Taylor. Always, a ray of heaven!

We are so sad to hear Taylor has passed away. What a beautiful picture of her! You can see the vibrancy with which she lived life. I remember her from school days & she was the same back then. May you feel peace & comfort in knowing she is in a wonderful place away from the cares of this world with loving relatives to help her along the way.

Taylor, i remember what a beautiful kid you were. I wish I could have known you as an adult. Totally would have loved to gone to a phish concert with you. Learning that you had a love for them like i do, touched my heart. May you dance your heart off in heaven! 🤍✝️

I’m Taylor Mary’s younger cousin and have such sweet memories of tagging along with her and our other cousins in Rexburg. Even though I was younger, she was always so kind, warm, and joyful toward me. Taylor Mary radiated light, love, and a deep confidence in who she was. I’m heartbroken that she’s gone and wish I had spent more time with her. I find comfort in believing she’s in Paradise, reunited with my sister Rachel. 🤍

We love you, Taylor Mary. See you in the Millennium ❤️

Taylor,

Your existence always seemed bigger than life. You lived big and fast and didn’t waste a moment. You were someone who never chose to be a victim, but fought to be a victor over the life you were given. Everything you did you did at 200%… I’m glad we were able to witness your shooting star, and though our time was brief it was powerful. We would have kept you for as long as we could, but we accept that was never our choice. We will miss you, but you have woven yourself into our lives so deeply you will never really be gone. We will see you in the art, and beautiful things you created. Your generosity was legendary, and you freely gave. You loved to see enjoyment and happiness in others. You would move mountains for a smile. You were aware of the suffering in those around you, and you chose to not just sit idly by. Your life was engaged in being the magic the world lacks. There will never be another like you, you are generationally unique. We will take your example of love and light to do the things you did. In us your life will continue, and your kindness changed us. We can’t camp, listen to music, dance, laugh, love, create without being reminded of how you would do those things. Our children will always remember aunt Taylor, and her unique ability to get on their level and have them feel seen, loved, and valued. We know not with certainty what happens next, but we will carry you in our hearts for as long as we are here. We will live in hope that this isn’t a goodbye, but until we meet again. Melissa and Jeff

We will miss you Taylor! You were a brilliant light who uplifted all around you. From a young age you were wise beyond your years and could make or do anything you set your mind to. We will miss you. We love you.

We belong to God and to God we all have to return. The most loved ones are called the earliest. I hope you're in the deep eternal resting place in divine mother's lap.

She was a very wonderful person.

I had the pleasure of meeting Taylor on 12/31/19 on the floor at Madison Square Garden. She was so kind, open, and an absolute blast to dance with. We shared a kiss at midnight and exchanged contact. We met up again a few months later and she graciously invited me into her home. She showed me around town, got to see another concert with her and then explored Bryce Canyon and Zion NP. We then said our goodbyes and see you laters. We got to meet up again this time in Mexico for the same band we met at just 2 months prior. PHISH. Sadly Covid happened and lost contact since. I got curious and googled her name and was shocked to see that she had recently passed. I’m so grateful to have met her and shared special moments with.

It hurts not having anyone around who knew her, so I wanted to try this. Maybe nobody will see it, and I’m sorry it’s late. I found out yesterday night.

Taylor and I were closer growing up at a younger age. We went to the same daycare for a little while. I’ll never forget her kindness and smile. We had conversations over the years through school, but had mostly drifted apart. Around 8th grade, she convinced me to read the twilight books and I remember her always reading. I remember specifically doing so because I wanted to have something in common with her that we could speak about.

She was quick to give complements. I was always amazed at how unapologetically herself she could be. She would tell you when you were wrong. I was wrong often hahahah, as a kid though, that’s expected. She always felt like an older kid, even though our birthdays were 17 days apart. I suppose she was an old soul, I wasn’t the nicest kid growing up, I remember she would tell me “be nice”. Admittedly, it took me years to do so, but she never seemed to hold that against me.

Our paths would cross occasionally and she always treated me like an old friend. After high school, our paths never crossed again. I always thought they would though, she was the kind of friend you could run into randomly and talk to for hours. Every few years I would try to find her on social media, but I think she was too busy living her life. I envy her for that, I struggle doing necessities. She had so much to give, but gave more than most.

My most vivid memory was in daycare, I had to borrow a pair of pants from the facility. Underwear included, I had never been more embarrassed. To top it off, they were some lame Disney underpants that I can no longer remember. I was prime to be bullied for this.

While talking with taylor, I started jumping up and down asking for more candy. To my dismay, my borrowed shorts dropped to my ankles in front of the whole class. She just laughed it off and told me it didn’t matter. As a kid she had more grace and class than I did for years. She was always an example to me for how you should treat people.

I will try to be nice Taylor, know that your absence is felt in ways you could never understand, but I know you understand now.
