Jack was born on May 5, 1941 to the late Nimrod Taylor and Essie Lou Hamm Taylor in Thomasville, GA. He married his wife of 60 years, Elaine McCorvey Taylor, on June 24, 1962 in Thomasville. He worked for 45 years for Industrial Boiler and retired in 2007 from Cleaver Brooks. He was an extraordinary athlete and received a scholarship to play sports at Norman College. He continued his love of sports and played until he was no longer able to do so. He was a loving, devoted husband, father, brother, son and Danda. Not only did he support and encourage athleticism, but he had a profound love of music and encouraged his grandchildren to pursue their interests and supported them. Countless hours were spent dancing and singing with friends and family and his love of music brought many joyful memories to us all. No matter what our interests were, he was there supporting us and was always our biggest fan.

In the words of his wife and our Mom and Mamie, he was the most imperfectly, perfect man! We will miss you so much and we will love you forever! Until we meet again…
