OBITUARY

Dan is loved and missed by his parents, Mike and Ellen Taylor; his sister Gwen Mesa, brother-in-law JJ, and niece Josie; daughter Kindall and her boyfriend Michael Castro; daughters Mia, Avery, and Marley, and their mother Kristel Strehle; girlfriend Christina Holmes; aunts and uncles Ken and Danny Taylor, Susan Swift; cousins Monica and Van Stevens, Kerrie and John Vacalis, Claire and Eric Kugler, Kirby and Amy Swift; and his dogs Kali and Ghost.

Dan was recognized and honored by his instructors at Airframe and Powerplant certification school as a gifted mechanic. He liked to build and fix bicycles, motorcycles, guns, and computers. His dad was his best friend. He loved anything fast, from roller coasters to motorcycles, and liked to go shooting and bike riding. He had a gentle heart and loved his dogs, especially his big boy Strider. Dan loved to tease, especially his mom; watch movies, go for bike rides and walks with his family, and avoid having his picture taken. Most of all, he loved and adored his girls. Dan often said of each of them, “She has my heart.”

We went back to my apartment with no lights.Talked all night. lol.I should have seen you when you came to El Paso. I wasn’t happy with myself so I loss the chance to see one of the people that was one of the most important relationships in my life. So stupid. Ryan and I sent flower when you left us but for the life of me I can’t talk to your dad ,mom, or Gwen. It breaks my heart. But I’m being totally selfish. They deserve to know all the good things you said about them. Hopefully I can grow some guts. I loved them like I loved you. I love you Taylor.
