Michael Taylor

Michael W. Taylor, age 61, of Goffstown, NH, formerly of Seffner and Plant City, FL respectively, was born in Tampa, FL on December 9, 1962, and was called to his heavenly home on June 21, 2024, to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, after a long and difficult battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Michael was a man of faith who loved the Lord, his family, and friends. He was a son who was thankful that God had brought his birth mother and parents together through private adoption upon his birth. He was a brother who loved all his siblings, an uncle who adored his nieces and nephews, and a friend who treasured his friendships.
Michael was very family oriented and was predeceased by his parents JoeAnn Hayes Taylor and James Walter Taylor. He considered his mother to be his best friend and he treasured and cared for her every single day of his life. Michael is survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Joe, and Toni Taylor; nephews Jonathan Taylor and Gregory Taylor; niece Sara Taylor, all of Bedford, NH, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins from the local area.
Michael was blessed to also have his biological siblings in his life. He leaves behind his brother Tim Ballard, his wife Kim and nephews Alec and Kyle; sister Lori Ann Lane Leighly, her husband Scott and nieces Lauren and Lindsey. Michael also has five sisters: Linda, Mary, Lisa, Debbie, and Karen.
Michael had dear friends that he considered to be family including Stacy Swafford, Janet and Mike Mixon, Joyce and Ralph Bruno and their sons, James affectionately called "Bodie", and Nick.
Michael will be dearly missed by his family and friends, but we are all comforted by his favorite Bible verses, Romans 8:38-39 that states "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord".
