Condolences for the family of “Otis Lender Taylor”
I am very sorry. I love you all. I loved uncle o so much. He taught me how to drive and how to ride a bike. I will cherish those memories forever. Rest easy uncle ❤️
Our deepest sympathies to you and the family. We are praying and thinking of you at this difficult time. Sending lots of hugs to you all.

I would like to offer my condolences to the family of Otis Taylor. He was my best friend since 1972 and like a brother to me. He was one of the kindest, thoughtful and considerate people I have ever met. I am truly blessed to have spent time with him this past July. I will truly miss him and cherish the memories forever. Rest in peace my brother 🙏
I had a crush on Unc since I first laid eyes on him when I was in high school. Love auntie Sylvia, but wanted her gone. As I grew up and MATURED, I realized I was just a fool. He loved him some her, and she loved her some him, so I grew to love me some them! T, jeep holding on to Jahs right hand. You will and we all will, see Unc again! The resurrection hope is real! Much love!
Rest in Peace Uncle Otis. You were truly a great man, and someone I looked up to with great reverence. I’ll never forget the weekends going to Bloomington to visit you with your brother (Uncle Jeff) and my cousin Shawn. Family BBQs, staying up late playing video games with CT, and waking up to an amazing breakfast by Auntie Sylvia. Those times were truly the best. You may be gone but you have forever left a mental footnote for me to become the best I can be as a black male. I love you.
You will be missed brother.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Otis was a beautiful soul with a wonderful laugh and an easy spirit. He will truly be missed.
Praying for our family
O Lord you are a great and awesome GOD!
Cover us and keep your promises of Unfailing LOVE towards the Taylor family who love & obey your command!
Sylvia & Family,
You have my deepest sympathy and prayers. I loved growing up with my cousins on Lincoln and spending days playing, weeding Granny’s garden, eating Aunt Ella’s “Tea Cakes” and just being members of a close-knit family. It felt like we were sisters and brothers rather than cousins. The Taylor men were always special, and there is a special place reserved in heaven and in my heart for Otis. May God’s love sustain you as you go through this difficult time.
Myra McNeil

Donnie sorry for your loss of your ROCK”but he’s home now and i’m sure he’s looking at down at you and smiling and saying his favorite “saying “ you got this girlfriend “
So sad to hear this. Otis will be greatly missed…
Sincere condolences to the family from Ruth Banks. Your family is special to me and I know they have a strong faith in God to see you through your bereavement journey.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Taylor family as Otis sleeps and wait for his resurrection. (John 5:28-29.)
I truly loved my Uncle Otis and I will miss dearly. To my Auntie, you are in thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I love you.

We all truly loved our Uncle Otis and will miss him dearly. I personally was inspired by his professional success and it pushed me to always do my best. I am certain of Jehovah’s promise of a resurrection, where those sleeping in death will be awakened. (John 5:28 & 29). Oh the stories, we will share with him when we see him again. Praying for you, Auntie as I know the sting his difficult to bear but I am certain your faith will help you endure! Love you so much!
