We have been out of town since the 10th of Sept. and such sad news to come home to. We just was talking to Jeff and Cheryl at the car show at BC Pizza and we were going to make plane to get to get together once again for dinner. I will always cherish the big hug that he gave me when they left and him saying the hw was looking forward to getting together for dinner at the Gun Lake Casino Buffet.

What a great man, always smiling, looked at the bright side, walked with Jesus, and always listened and gave me advice. He helped me understand more about God’s WORD. Unfortunately and a blessing; I only knew Jeff for about 18 years, he was not only my brother-in-law but he was my other brother.
I know he is with us and will help us to continue to grow. I love you Jeff! We will try to walk in your footsteps. Love Peter

Cheryl, so sorry for your loss.
We have been friends for so many years, Jeff was a fun loving person who would always put a smile on your face. Most of our time spent together was in High School and the Track and Field Team where Jeff broke the State Mile Record and ran the final leg of the medley relay to add another school record that stood for many years. We were able to meet a few years ago on a camping trip and had a great time catching up on old times and families. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I can not express how sorry I am to hear of Jeff’s passing. It was a shocker to me. One thing I know, he was a child of the King. I believe he is with our Father. I want you all to know, you you have my love and prayers. Myrtle Guess

No doubt in my mind that he heard ” Well done good and faithful servant”. He was always uplifting everyone near him.

I am praying for your family during this difficult time! I know he is in heaven (walking on streets of gold) as he shared in the passing of my father! He was such a one of a kind Godly man!

Doc Taylor was simply the BEST! Not all chiropractors are created equal and he was awesome and always knew how to get me straightened out whenever I needed it. I will miss seeing him and hearing his stories which were always entertaining. Cheryl, Brett, and the rest of the family, I am so sorry for your loss. May our Lord and Savior be with you through this difficult time and always.

Fran and I wish that we were able to have more time with our business partner and very good friend Jeffery. It was such a sudden and totally unexpected passing that we both have not come to grips with the fact that he is really gone.
We wish to extend our prayers and heart felt uplifting to his family, Brett, D’Ana and especially Cheryl.

I don’t remember if Jeff was my friend first or my Chiropractor first, I only remember he was both. I loved him and I love his whole family. God’s hand was always over him and Jeff was a good and faithful servant. To know him was to love him. He’ll always be in my thoughts and his family in my prayers. RIP Jeff. We’ll miss you.

Cheryl and family, Dan and I want to extend our deepest and most sincere sympathy to you and family. Cheryl was a classmate of Dan’s. And good a friend. This was most certainly a shock to Dan and I. We have been out of town since the 10th of Sept. and such sad news to come home to. We just was talking to Jeff and Cheryl at the car show at BC Pizza and we were going to make plane to get to get together once again for dinner. I will always cherish the big hug that he gave me when they left and him saying the hw was looking forward to getting together for dinner at the Gun Lake Casino Buffet. Cheryl our Thoughts and Prayers are with you and family at this most difficult time. May You Rest in Peace Jeff from now into Eternity. Your friends Dan and Sandy Fleming

Jeff
What a great man, always smiling, looked at the bright side, walked with Jesus, and always listened and gave me advice. He helped me understand more about God’s WORD. Unfortunately and a blessing; I only knew Jeff for about 18 years, he was not only my brother-in-law but he was my other brother.
I know he is with us and will help us to continue to grow. I love you Jeff! We will try to walk in your footsteps. Love Peter

Dr Jeff what a glorious day you have graduated into fur presence with Jesus Christ. Your infectious smile, humor, and positivity will be missed. I admired you for all above said. I’m shaking your hand Jeff and thank you for rubbing off on me as you have over the years. In many areas you made me a better person cause you put people before yourself I witnessed these small things that are so crucial. God bless the Taylor family Again God bless

We are so sorry for your loss. Doc was not only a mentor, but a friend and amazing person. He always greeted us with a hug and huge smile. We’ll miss that smile. We can’t begin to explain how valuable his advice and guidance has been over the years. They don’t come any better and he will be greatly missed.

Cheryl, so sorry for your loss.
We have been friends for so many years, Jeff was a fun loving person who would always put a smile on your face. Most of our time spent together was in High School and the Track and Field Team where Jeff broke the State Mile Record and ran the final leg of the medley relay to add another school record that stood for many years. We were able to meet a few years ago on a camping trip and had a great time catching up on old times and families. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
