Don was a talented piano and keyboard player. He took lessons for years when he was young and played in a number of bands into his thirties and forties, always loving music. He was an avid reader of science fiction and had an extensive library to include authors like Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury. He had quite the imagination and was always planning trips and drives out west. He took his nephew to Japan, and his sister to Rome and then on a Mediterranean cruise. Always thinking about what he'd like to do next. He usually had a dog as a companion, sometimes up to three of them. He didn't have a healthy heart, but even with all of the medical problems he endured that didn't hold him back from living life on his terms.

Do will be missed very much by his family and friends.

Don was predeceased by his parents, and his older brother Everett Taylor II.
