Robert ''Robby'' Raymond Taylor was taken from us way too soon on May 28, 2020. He was born October 25, 2010 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
He was a sweet, loveable, funny little boy who was always smiling. He enjoyed trying out different sports & loved that he was talented at gymnastics. He loved the rings and parallel bars the most. Many have said that he would give the last of what he had, to make someone smile. He loved to be goofy, singing and dancing around the house and giving his sisters a hard time.
He was loved by his family, school families, community family, and his dad's Military family. He will be missed beyond what words can describe.
He is preceded in death by his grandmother, Susan Martin; great-grandparents, Donald & Donnita Martin, Dorthy Stapp Cargil (John) & Douglas Taylor (Ruby), Burl & Bobbie Taylor, and Rodney Cormier; and by his great-uncle, Timmy Soileau.
He leaves behind his parents, Robert and Lyndsay Taylor; sisters, Carly and Chloe; grandparents, Dave & Carlene Taylor; grandfather, Robert Taylor Sr.; guardian grandparents; his aunt, Jenny Vetter; uncle, Bob Vetter; and his cousin, Rob and Don & Patsy McClanahan; aunt, Karen Venable (Chris); cousins, Jenna & Blake; uncle, Michael Martin (Erica); uncle, Brian McClanahan (Katherine); aunt, Amy (Clint); great-grandmother, Mary Cormier, great-aunts, Charlene Roy (Bruce), Madeline Soileau, Tiffany Barrere (Todd) Jean Prater, Loretta Taylor, Sharon Coats (Tommy); great-great-uncle, Dave Cullum. Great-uncle, Donald Martin; great-aunts, Regina Richard (Mark), Edna Taylor and great-uncle, Eric Taylor (Stephanie). Many Cousins and so many friends.
The services will be held on Friday, June 5th 2020, at 2:00pm at Mount Vernon Baptist Church at 6 Garland Springs Rd, Mount Vernon, AR, 72111 with a visitation to be held one hour prior.
The Taylor family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to their local community and former communities for their outpouring of love and support and wonderful stories about Robby.

I am so sorry for your loss and have been thinking about your family. Robby walked down the hall everyday with a smile on his face. I was Chloe's teacher for third grade and could see the love these two siblings had. My prayers are with you and the family.

Robby was one of my music class students for many years at Rock Creek. He could brighten a room the minute he walked in with his contagious smile and enthusiastic spirit. A hug from Robby warmed my heart and thank goodness he gave them out so freely. He was truly one of the sweetest and most caring students that I have ever had the pleasure to teach. I'm so grateful that Robby and Chloe came to visit in early March and I cherish the conversation, smiles and hugs that happened that afternoon.
Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, Chloe and the rest of Robby's precious family, I wish you love and peace and I will continue to pray for you all in the days to come.
Rest in peace sweet Robby.

Robby became one of my forever firsties at Rock Creek Elementary! I will always remember how incredibly kind and sweet he was. He gave amazing hugs. Robby gave me smiles all day long! I remember him calling me Ms. Dehring. Mrs. Wilson taught him to say my name as Ms. Gehring. From the day he learned, he would try VERY hard to say it correctly. That is a testament to what a hard worker he was. He had the kindest heart! Always trying to help his classmates, whether it be to help clean up a spilled pencil box or cheer up someone who was sad. He was always there to share a smile or laugh. Oh how he loved to talk about his gymnastics! We had many chats about what he was learning. His spark and positive attitude were contagious! Sweet Robby touched so many lives! Fly high on the rings, Robby! You can do all the gymnastics you want now.

Words cannot express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. I had the extraordinary privilege of being Robby and Chloe's Kindergarten teacher. I love both of them dearly. I am so very thankful you all stopped to visit with me before our spring break. Robby was honestly one of the most caring little boys. He was always giving the tightest hugs. He held on for a few squeezes sometimes. He was just that sweet. That's who he was. I continue to pray for peace in your hearts and healing in your souls.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear child. I pray the God of all comfort will help you during this difficult time. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4 & Psalms 83:18). Jesus taught us to pray for God's Kingdom to come because He knew it would intervene to solve all mankind's problems even sickness and death. (Revelation 21:4,5 & Daniel 2:44).

My heart aches for you and your family. I had the joy of teaching Robby this past school year, as I was his third grade teacher. Robby was the light of the classroom, always making others feel cared for! He would be the first one to share supplies, a special treat, or words of encouragement. My favorite part of our day was when we would break out in a dance party for classmates birthdays and he would always show off his gymnastics skills. Everyone was impressed. I would do anything for one last hug from my sweet Robby. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

My heart breaks for your amazing family! I was lucky enough to know your family at Rock Creek Elementary. I had the joy of teaching Robby in second grade and he was a special child to say the least. He was so caring and kind to others around him and was always eager to help everyone. I loved his sense of humor and that adorable sly grin of his. I am thinking of you all and sending love and prayers your way!
