Daniel Taylor

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Daniel Clinton Taylor, who left this world on March 19, 2026 at the age of 45. Daniel was a beloved brother, son, nephew, cousin and friend whose presence brought warmth and strength to those around him. He will be remembered for his kind heart, his generosity, how much he loved his family and friends, his undying faith in God, and for the many ways he touched the lives of family, friends, and all who knew him.

Born on July 2, 1980 in Nashville Tennessee. Daniel grew up surrounded by love but also hard times. He, like so many other people, did not have the perfect life but he did have so many people who loved and cherished him. He had a deep appreciation for the things he loved - family gatherings, helping others, and found joy in the simple moments spent with the people he cared about most.

Above all, Daniel cherished his family. He is survived by his brother and sister in law Randy and Madelene Taylor and their children, his nieces and nephews, Adreanne ( Jr and Tayanne), Michelle and Gabriel ( Gabriel, Izavella, Santiago, Azriel), Heather and Anthony ( Summer, Harley), TJ and Florence , AJ and Abby ( Koen ), his sister Stephanie Taylor and his nephew Aiden and nieces Sadie and Emery. His Aunt Joanne Rankhorn Jenkins and Uncle Wayne Rankhorn, sisters Sarah Evangelista and Cassie Evangelista and many cousins and friends who will forever hold his memory in their hearts. He was preceded in death by His Mother Lynn Evangelista and His Father James T Taylor.

Though his time with us feels far too short, the love he gave and the memories he created will remain a lasting legacy. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

A celebration of life will take place on Friday, April 3, 2026 at Gateway Funeral Home from 1-4pm.
