Kenneth C. Taylor was born July 7, 1942, in Las Vegas, Nevada, to Claude Frank Taylor and Donna Lucille Dallin.
Ken married Susan Sabey on Aug. 16, 1963. They were the parents of one son, James Taylor. Ken married Judy Alice (Musser) Peterson on Aug. 2, 1975, and he became a father to her five children: Susanne, Susette, Steven, Mary and Daniel. Ken and Judy were sealed on Dec. 10, 2008, in the Salt Lake Temple.
What can you say about a man who put everyone before himself? Ken was a unique man that defined success for himself and rejected what the world defined as success. He felt that his only worth was what he did for other people. He was successful.
He often felt like he gave so little (two mites) and he always wished he had more to give. But like the woman in the Bible, Ken truly gave all he had to those around him.
Although Ken always had a strong work ethic, in his spare moments he enjoyed hunting, fishing and cooking for family and friends. He was a devoted husband and dedicated his life to helping others.
On Aug. 17, 2017, the world lost a great man. Ken will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him, especially his children: Susanne Haring, Susette Peterson, James Taylor, Steven Peterson, Mary Gunning and Daniel Peterson; grandchildren, great-grandchildren and siblings.
