Birthplace: Baytown, Texas
Resided In: Richland Washington
BRIAN HEATH TAYLOR, affectionately called “Tex” by close friends, 35, passed on June 2, 2006. Born in Baytown, Texas on April 24, 1971, he is survived by his parents, Hugh and Judy Taylor of Richland, Washington, and sister, Charissa Kovin of Houston, Texas. He was married
to Sara E. Taylor, of San Antonio, Texas. Other immediate family members include uncles Robert D. Taylor of Manassas, Virginia and William W. Taylor of Florida, Robert T. Stonecipher of Singapore, Grandmother, Agatha Stonecipher of Spring, Texas, nieces Kennedy and Kate Kovin and nephew Jackson Kovin of Houston, Texas. Brian joins his grandmother Una Taylor, grandfather Robert Stonecipher, and his other grandfather William W. Taylor, “Pa-Pa”, with whom he shared a special bond and who we are certain watched over Brian and helped him cross over.
Brian grew up in The Meadows, Texas where he was an outstanding child. His IQ was near genius and he excelled in academics, learning Spanish, German, and Russian. He was also an award-winning swimmer and excelled in other sports, even earning a Black Belt in Karate. But more than that, Brian was extremely loving and caring. He had an infectious laugh and enjoyed life, pursuing all challenges, until he was about 18 years old. At that time, Brian’s behavior started to change as a chemical imbalance known as depression began to manifest itself in his life.
Even with this challenge, he graduated from The University of Texas in Austin with a bachelor’s degree in history and government, where he was a member of the Sigma Nu Fraternity. He lived in Connecticut, West Virginia, Texas and Washington. Brian married
Sara, a wonderful girl whom he loved very much for the rest of his life.
Brian’s passions included literature, The Arts, History, especially the Civil War and its Battlegrounds, fitness, investing, politics, baseball, and Texas. An award-winning teacher, devoted to education, Brian was preparing to enter Washington State University to obtain a Master’s Degree.
Brian’s disease progressed with time. He finally succumbed to this very misunderstood mental illness. Visiting hours were held Wednesday, June 7, 2006, from 3:30-6:30 pm at Einan’s Funeral Home in Richland, Washington. In lieu of traditional remembrances, please make a donation in Brian’s name to a charity of your choice or to the The Civil War Preservation Trust, (www.civilwar.org) about which he felt strongly.
