Dedicated to his family, work, friends, and the land on which he grew up, Jason made sure everyone got a fair shake at life. He was a kind and gentle man that remembered and acknowledged special occasions of his family and friends. He enjoyed gardening (sharing his produce), fishing, and both the summer and winter seasons alike. He took great pride in his yard and home. Jason is survived by his parents, Clyde and Ann Taylor of Mt. Pleasant; sister, Jennifer Schafer of Mt. Pleasant; special companion whom he loved, Joslyn Sainsbury of Mt. Pleasant; will be missed and loved by numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins; and his canine girls, Gyp and Deva. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Gaylord and Velma Taylor; and maternal grandparents, Herman and Louise Kurtz. For those who knew him, our lives will be forever altered by the passing of this kind, loyal, and giving young man.
