Terry Lee Taylor passed away April 2, 2022 in Idaho Falls ID.

He was born April 27, 1945 in King County WA to parents John and Leona Taylor. The oldest of three children, he was a loving, kind, and supportive big brother.

Terry grew up in Lake City, WA where he helped watch/antagonize his brother and sister. This is where he also found his love for the water.

The family moved several times before settling in Shelley ID. Terry worked hard. During his time with his family, he was fun and adventurous. He loved camping, boating, amusement parks, and simply spending time with his family.

Terry joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints after meeting his sweetheart. He served in many positions in the church. He is most proud of his service as a missionary for the church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints where he served at the Idaho Falls canary and dry pack for more than 15 years.
