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.

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.

Scott will be deeply missed, he was my mom’s neighbor and every time I stopped by and him and Maddy was in the yard he never missed an opportunity to speak or crack a joke. Although our conversations were fairly short, every last one of them ended with a smile. He was a great guy…

Scott welcomed me to AutoZone back in 1998, we became fast friends along with a couple other guys at AutoZone, and became the Quad 4. These guys knew each other well but Scott was one of the primary guys to ensure I knew I was part of the team and group. I have always admired Scotts commitment to his boys, his work and his passions (Working out, Storm Chasing etc.). Scottt you will be missed each day, and I hope you know how loved you are by so many. Thank you Scott for being who you were. You made such a difference in so many of our lives. Rest easy my friend.

“Blessed are those that mourned for they shall be comforted”. Scott will truly be missed. I met Scott at work and he was always upbeat, faithful and enjoyed talking about his boys.He was regimented in his work, faith and hitting the gym. I always admired that about him but I will miss his smile and his sense of humor, I am sure is at peace and knew he was loved.

At the end of each conversation he would say, do not tell them I said this or that. I do not want them to think I am getting soft, then he would smile. For all he did for us, for his boys, we are forever grateful, and we will miss him. His memory will not be forgotten for it will live on in his sons.

Scott Taylor will be remembered as a friend and a devoted father to Brandon, and Jacob, our grandsons. From the day he joined our family, he brought a sense of responsibility that touched my wife, Brenda, and myself. Brandon and Jacob were always at the center of his world. Whether it was attending to their needs, helping them with their life problems, or simply listening to their dreams and worries, he was ever-present and deeply involved in their lives. He kept us integrated into the boys’ lives by including us in the boys' activities and family events, making us feel as part of his family.

I am at a complete loss for words. My late husband, Jason McDonald and Scott used to chase storms together and worked at AutoZone. Scott and I kept in touch after Jason's death. Praying for his two boys and his family which he loved more than anything in this world, besides Jesus. God be with all of those impacted by such a tremendous loss.

Scott was a very good friend growing up. You rarely saw one of us without the other. There were a lot of long nights during the summer, staying up doing stuff with our Commodore 64 computers or playing Spotlight with the rest of the kids in the neighborhood. He was the kind of person that would always do something silly to make you laugh if you were having a bad day. He was the brother I never had, and will be missed terribly.

Jacob and Brandon, I am simply at a loss for words. Memories often help bring the best comfort.
There are many things to remember about your dad and our childhood in Casa Terra, but the most memorable thing about your dad is his love for Jesus and getting jacked!
I remember Mr. Scott humbling us boys on the weights with a little Christian music playing in the background.
It has always been evident that your dad loved you both very much. I know Mr. Scott will be greatly missed. Trust in Jesus just like your dad did. I am praying for you both in your time of loss.

I was so sad to hear about Scott's passing! I've worked with him in IT for most of my 25 years at AutoZone, and the place I saw him most was in the gym at the Store Support Center. His fierce dedication to weightlifting and fitness inspired me and was surpassed only by his boundless good humor and wit. You'll be missed, old buddy!! Much love, and my deepest condolences to his family.

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 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.
