of Marion, AR
February 24, 1969 - October 25, 2025
William ''Scott'' Taylor, age 56, of Marion, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on October 25, 2025. He was born on February 24, 1969, in West Memphis, Arkansas, to Randy and Joyce Taylor.
Scott was employed as a Lead Systems Engineer for AutoZone Corporate, where his dedication, professionalism, and problem-solving skills earned him the respect and admiration of his colleagues. A man of deep faith, Scott read his Bible daily and lived each day guided by his strong Christian values. He loved spending time at the gym, photographing nature, and chasing summer storms, always drawn to the beauty and wonder of God's creation. A proud fan of Arkansas Razorback football, Scott cheered on his team through every season.
Above all, Scott was a dedicated father whose sons meant everything to him. His love for Brandon and Jacob was the center of his life, and he took great pride in the men they have become. Scott is survived by his two beloved sons, Brandon Taylor and Jacob Taylor; his parents, Randy and Joyce Taylor; his sisters, Shelly Smith (Greg) and Dianna Broadway; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. He will also be deeply missed by his loyal dog, Maddy.
The family will receive friends on Monday, November 3, 2025, from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., with a funeral service to follow at 2:00 p.m. at Roller-Citizens Funeral Home in West Memphis, Arkansas. A private family committal will be held at a later date.
Scott will be remembered for his faith, kindness, and love for his family and friends. His legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

There are no words, there are only Memories of a life ended much too short and a love that will never pass away.
We shall all meet again one day, at the great gathering and then our Lord will wipe away all tears and there shall be no more sorrow or pain.
Scott, you were always such a good friend and I know our Lord Jesus Christ was waiting with open arms, as he is for all those that have accepted him as 'Lord and Saviour'.

I worked with Scott up until I retired in 2019. I interfaced with Scott just about every day it seemed like. Scott was always helpful when I was stuck with a problem and helped me find a solution. I am very sorry for your loss because Scott was such a great person and friend.

I'll always remember our last conversation I walked by your desk and I told you that you look like Elliot from Law and Order and you did nothing but laugh 🥲

I love him more than I can say. He made me laugh. He made me feel safe, which is incredibly hard to do. He was a loving, caring, empathetic, generous, good man with a huge heart. We loved, we joked, we played, we laughed, we fought (no relationship is perfect), then we loved each other more, and we had each other's friendship for over 33or more years. The pandemic brought us closer than either of us ever imagined. And I know how much pain I'm in today. I feel so much pain for those who had him closer, longer. I hope and pray Brandon and Jacob know how deeply he loved them and was proud of his boys. I pray his mom and sisters know how much he loved and cared about them and their wellbeing. Next to God, his family was everything. Prayers for all of us as we learn to move forward.
